Well, it seems the U.S. Secret Service isn't finding much humor in this situation, either.

I dunno, Rob, I can certainly appreciate dark humor, but there's nothing in that story that makes it sound like a joke. The rest of the piece rails against Bush, and then it ends with a call to would-be assassins.

Maybe the idea of Presidential assassination is taken more seriously over here because we've had 4 Presidential assassinations in our history, whereas the UK has only had one Prime Minister killed. Look, I agreed with almost every other word of that piece, right down to the 3rd-grade insults that the guy was tossing at Bush... But to evoke the names of former assassins is way out of line, even given the tawdry reputation of the UK press.

Edit: Yeah, what Roger said.
