The Supreme Dicks were an infamous grunge era band originating at Hampshire College in the early 1980's. I was the band's first, self-appointed, 'business manager' which didn't mean a whole lot, save for one very epic event. If I recall correctly I was also the responsible individual starting a habit of calling the private campus security force and complaining about our own events, as a form of 'guerrilla' theater.

Below the jump is an excerpt from the Richard Rushfield book, 'Don't Follow Me, I'm Lost' concerning related events. The story, legend, is true, though the name, 'Billy Moser', is not. This excerpt starts right after Rushfield describes the security habit.

The Cox Canyon Arch is the best, and most popular, of the so-called 'Aztec Arches of NW New Mexico, the 'Indian Caves' are a suggested addition when visiting this area.

The two nearby caves are not commonly known and for the most difficult to find I've cairned a route along the rim-rock from just below the Cox Arch, to the South. There is also a second, small, arch on the canyon rim above this cave, visible from the wash below after an easy climb down from the rim-rock ledge.

Independent voters are breaking strongly for Romney, on the basis of his relatively moderate debate appearances, I, however, do not buy what's being sold. It is quite true that Obama is selling, largely, the same product - and that is a question of the lesser of two evils.

Most disconcerting to me is the acceptance of Wall Street corruption **combined with** continued Bush era Department of Justice abuses, such as indefinite detention for American citizens. Corporate America is not too big to fail, it has failed - and, by my own personal experience it has become quite irrational in its ongoing, energetic, but ultimately destructive endeavors.

Perhaps the worst of these behaviors is **judicial** pandering to racial, and gender, victims of abuse of many different kinds. Many of these individuals have become the stereotypical victim become perpetrator - a dynamic which is likely the biggest selling point for the Republican Party these days.

This is full blown, universal human rights, Hitler class, evil - the encouragement of destructive and abusive hate as a divide and conquer strategy of the hidden elite, and their legal representation.

Obama is no virgin in this, but his pro-business efforts are not to be condemned without qualification either. It is up to all of us to end this abuse, and, to be frank, I have more faith in the healthy, and progressing, members of our minority communities to do this than I do in the moribund, science denying, self-righteous American 'business' right.

Obama will not be the savior of this Country, that is up to all of us - up to us to out-compete, and outsell, the Wall Street/National Republican Party mob. Obama will, under pressure, allow this. Romney will not and the only ones who will get any 'trickle down' from his fellow vulture capitalists will be those complicit in this, at its heart, raging uncontrollably evil, conspiracy.

I was once a big fan of Rob McKenna's work. Technically we were classmates at the University of Washington's Economics program, I transferring in the January of his last year, 1986 - but it was not until watching him at great length on the Sound Transit Board that I connected a face to a name. On the Sound Transit board he was responsible for cutting the deal for freeway money for 405 during the rewrite of the first Sound Transit Bond package - a good deal, and one that led to a successful vote on try number two, and the accompanying delays in transit development were appropriate for that area - something current Sound Transit leadership forgot, to their peril.

I decided earlier this year not to actively support him on the basis of his failure to discipline one of Gregoire's last attorney hires during her years in McKenna's current job, Attorney General.

At the end of this summer I read the Jack Abramoff Biography, the former Microsoft lobbyist, hired, to a successful result, at the height of their anti-trust effort before the DOJ, coincident with the takeover of the House of Representatives under the leadership of Newt Gingrich.

The reason Abramoff was able to do this, as a lobbying virgin, was his time as head of the National College Republicans, during the Reagan years - after winning, of all places, Massachusetts, for the gipper. It was the very same individuals he trained nationwide that were, and still are, the heart of the right wing conservative movement - both as elected officials and as staff - including most notably his old buddy Grover Norquist.

These were the exact same years that McKenna was in school, serving himself as president of the Associated Student body of the UW in 85/86. As such, it was in this context that I viewed this video shot surreptitiously at the Young Republicans. The FaceBook poster claimed, I believe rightly, this to portray the Real Rob McKenna.
