Yes, except you'll actually need to print badword.  Printing kw will
print the whole list each time.  So you can use:

print badword + line

However, this will run the keyword and line together, so you might want
to put a space in there to make it nicer:

print badword + " " + line

You could also do this, which will include a space for you:

print badword, line

Lastly, the most common way to print multiple pieces of data is like
this:

print "%s %s" % (badword, line)

If you stick some formatting stuff in there you can even get them to
line up
nicely:

print "%-10s %-60s" % (badword, line)

The % syntax is probably overkill for this, though, and since it's not
all that easy to use unless you already know C (which is where it comes
from) you can probably live without it for now.
