| Playbill By Ernio Hernandez 20 Jul 2004 Assassins may have closed on Broadway, but another show is taking aim at the leader of the free world in the new guerilla comedy "I'm Gonna Kill the President!" A Federal Offense. Performances begin at 10 PM at an undisclosed Manhattan location, running Aug. 17-Sept. 4 — including the dates of the Republican National Convention. A press release for the work penned by "Hieronymous BANG" reads like an classified government document with key words crossed out with a black marker. The material reads ""I'm Gonna Kill the President!" A Federal Offense blends Dario Fo, Abbie Hoffman and the Muppets ======= the story of a confused student's revolutionary awakening and ====== submarines ====== return of the buffalo." The secretive staging also employs detailed instructions to conspiring audience members: "To see the show, go to Manhattan and proceed to the middle of 10th Street, between Avenue A and Avenue B. Bring that bail bond gift certificate your commie aunt sent you, too. The recording also sends a message to the feds: "If you're some kind of law enforcement agent or official, hang up now, there's nothing illegal happening here." Obviously, the Secret Service will take their word for it. Tickets — "available to Republican delegates (with ID) for free" — are priced at $15. For reservations, call (no, please don't call, we want THEM, not US, arrested for death threats) The probable defense is "it's metaphorical (satire, a joke, etc.), you backward rube." Ok with me. I hereby invite all Rantburgistas and fellow-travelers to Dallas to attend the premier of my new avant-garde guerrilla-theatre work, I'm Gonna Hang Noam Chomsky with Michael Moore's Guts, Set Them Both on Fire, and Suspend Their Smoking Carcasses From the Trinity Bridge.* Directions will be encrypted in your next Zionist Conspiracy check stub. Admission is 10 Iraqi dinars. If you traded your dinars for a truckload of panties, bring those instead. *the tediously long-winded title is a nice retro-60s touch, no? |

| #1 "A press release for the work penned by 'Hieronymous BANG'" Sounds more like "Hieronymous BONG." |
