In Nicholson Baker's new novella, "Checkpoint," a man sits in a Washington hotel room with a friend and talks about assassinating President Bush.

It's a work of the imagination and no attempts on the president's life are actually made, but the novel is likely to be incendiary, as with Michael Moore's documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Flush with the headline-generating success of "My Life," by Bill Clinton, Alfred A. Knopf is planning to publish Baker's work Aug. 24, on the eve of the Republican National Convention. "Checkpoint" is 115 pages long and will sell for $18.

1. Whoa

Sounds like a real rip-off to me. I'd rather have good non-fiction on my side.

[whistle]

2. The novella names Bush by name?....

...That's a little too much I think. It gives the neo-cons and John "Josef" Ashcroft the rationale he needs to put Patriot Act two into full force. Talk about "Wag the Dog", this is what BushCo another reason to play to our fears, stay off focus of the real problems and polarize voters on November 2. Sorry, that book needs to be downplayed.

3. Is Mr. Baker spending a lot of time talking the the SS & FBI?

If not, how come they pestered those kids and artists?
