"Man oh man, 'Dr. Menlo.' Now there's an alternative blog. Kindness to animals, Seattle anarchists, nudism galore, SubGenius, anti-Bush black propaganda, jeez louise, Doc, that thing sure is happenin'." --Bruce Sterling, Schism Matrix
"Dr. Menlo is one smart guy, with a sharp eye for images sacred, profane, and in between. Sometimes the doctor riffs on them, sometimes he leaves you to connect the dots." -- Killing the Buddha
All the Democrats who voted for this are absolute, complete and total fucking pieces of shit - pieces of shit who just crawled out of Joe Lieberman's ass.
Let me just remind you, dear reader, of a few salient facts about this the nightly news will not remind you of: 1) Bush started this illegal spying as soon as he got into office, not after 9-11. 2) A former AT&T employee testified to Congress about one room in San Francisco where they copied all transmissions - ALL TRANSMISSIONS - and not just those going out of country.
To people that are new to any of my sites, I want to offer my former contributions to Andrei Codrescu's Exquisite Corpse. They moved all the links around recently so none of my previous links work so I had to root around in the archives for these. The Corpse is the first time I appeared on the web as Dr. Menlo. Next came my domain, drmenlo.com, and Sensual Liberation Army was started on that domain as an exercise in guerrilla art/progressive activism (goal being to reroute huge adult internet traffic to good causes).
When I sent Andrei Codrescu Thomas Jefferson Goes to Washington, it was simply out of the egotistical notion that he might like it. When I got an acceptance letter from him I was thrilled and shocked. Honestly, I hadn't even heard of the Corpse until then.
Andrei Codrescu's patronage greatly inspired all of my resulting web work and for that I will always be in gratitude. Oh yea, after an extended absence, the Corpse is back.
