The poster was visited by the Secret Service for this post on kuro5hin. Since kuro5hin is down (for unrelated reasons), the events are discussed in this thread on Slashdot. And Sean Gullette received a phone call from the Secret Service after an online publication called “Why I Want to Fuck George Bush”, modelled on JG Ballard’s classic 1967 story on Reagan. Gullette says he struck up a good relationship with the agent, who assessed his essay as not representing a threat (whew!). He commented that it would have been a different matter if they had been questioning him about John Ashcroft. [Good to know that, in this dizzying, changed world, it’s still easy to tell the difference between intellectual and moral unpreparedness.]
