Secret Service visits art show at Columbia
An artist featured in a show at Columbia College (where I live) in Chicago was visited by the secret service this past weekend. Al Brandtner, a Chicago artist unaffiliated with Columbia College, created a stamp with a picture of W. and a gun pointing at his head. The words "Patriot Act" appear below the image, and all is set nicely on a background of the US flag. I saw the invite before the show (which featured this particular stamp) and thought, "Yep, they're gonna come knocking." And they sure did. Personally, I think they should've put a supurting cock next to his head and written the words "Aids Nelly" under the image. Does that warrant a visit from the secret service?
