"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

L7 Performs Gas Chamber - a Clip from John Waters' Serial Mom
I was an extra in the mosh pit for this scene. Three of the funnest days of my life. I was on my way to work that day in Washington, D.C. when I was still working as a clerk for the government when I heard over the radio this John Waters movie needed more extras, so I pointed the car to Baltimore which was only about 30-40 minutes away. When I got to Hammerjacks I was the last one accepted. That was my first and last time in a mosh pit. John Waters was very funny in person. I consider him one of the best living American writer/directors and one of the best American writer/directors ever. Tracey Ullman was brilliant in one of my personal Waters favs: A Dirty Shame.
"I began to understand that 'America' in reality belonged to the whole world and not just to Americans. The idea of America had already been invented by the philosophers, the vagabonds, the dispersed of this earth, long before the Spanish ships got there. Those whom we call Americans have only rented it for a time. If they behave badly, we can discover another 'America'.The contract can be canceled at any time." --Sergio Leone
"Minority Report is the new lord of the allegories, dethroning that movie whose screenplay was basically rants from Society of the Spectacle with the word 'Spectacle' crossed out and 'Matrix' written in in crayon."

The Bureau of Public Secrets website features numerous texts by and about Guy Debord and other members of the Situationist International, the notorious avant-garde group that helped trigger the May 1968 revolt in France.
"Making petrified conditions dance by singing them their own tune."
