Axis of Evil Stamps: Secret Service visits art show at Columbia

The agents turned up Thursday evening, just before the public opening of "Axis of Evil, the Secret History of Sin," and took pictures of some of the art pieces -- including "Patriot Act," showing President Bush on a mock 37-cent stamp with a revolver pointed at his head.

"It frightens me ... as an artist and curator. Now we're being watched," Hernandez said. "It's a new world. It's a Big Brother world. I think it's frightening for any artist who wants to do edgy art."


Is this really a case of Big Brother going to far? Or just a routine, albeit thorough investigation into a possible threat to the President?
