i guess that you could see this as the functional equivalent of yelling "fire" in amovie theater......or not.
on the surface, it seems ridiculous that this----um---ornamentation of the front of a house could be construed as a death threat. on the other hand, i suppose the secret service has reason to be jumpy about it. had i been doing it, i probably would have left off the "die bush" part for that reason.
usually, i am pretty annoyed about what i take to be censorship, particularly of political speech, particularly when that speech comes from those opposed to bushworld in all its manifestations. but this case seems right on the line.
