Bio
Gillen was born just as Abbie Hoffman took the stand in Chicago and announced,"My name is Abbie. I am an orphan of America."
"The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. he is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair."
- H L Mencken
"The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible."
- Bertrand Russell
"If he exalts himself, I humble him. If he humbles himself, I exalt him. And I go on contradicting him until he understands that he is a monster that passes all understanding."
- Blaise Pascal
"Remember, at DDA our motto is: 'We just want to see you greased-up and semi-conscious.'"
"Happy! We just want to see you happy."
"We changed the motto?"
- Duckman
"Seven million people died in the great war,
A bout of influenza quadrupled that score.
Why pimp to posterity?
Why should they admire us?
All the heroes of Valhalla
Weigh less than a virus.

imomus, Morality is Vanity"The best thing is not to be born. But who is as lucky as that? To whom does it happen? Not to one among millions and millions of people."
- Brother Theodore
"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
- H.L. Mencken
"Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right."
- Ani DiFranco
"Of course there is a lot of misery, but it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery and the birds are in misery. I don't think they sing, they just screech in pain. Taking a close look at what is around us, there is some sort of harmony. It is the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder."
- Werner Herzog
"Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the wisdom to know where the guy who CAN change them lives, and a blunt instrument."
