ceebeegeeAn Austin, Texas, resident with an apparent grudge against the Internal Revenue Service set his house on fire Thursday and then crashed a small plane into a building housing an IRS office with nearly 200 employees, officials said.
Holy. Crap. He also set his house on fire and left a long, rambly, incoherent letter with one theme: "I is angry, hate taxes and the government, rawr!"
What a f-ing loser. You know who this reminds me of? The Bath School bombing Another loser all angry because he had to pay property tax to support the local school. So what did he do? Killed his wife, set fire to his farm killing all of his farm animals (in fact he tied them in so they couldn't escape), and set off a series of bombs at the school, murdering more than 40 schoolchildren as well as some adults. You know what his note said? "Criminals are made, not born." 'Cause, you know, they drove him to murder 6 year olds. Taxes drove him to it. It's all someone else's fault.
I just don't understand people sometimes.

I actually have not been reading anything in the media about that (i.e., I personally haven't read them, not that no one's said anything like that)--I posted the above as soon as I read about the plane crash so I haven't read any follow up opinions or columns. I have more to say on this but I have to get to work but anyway, you are eloquent and intelligent and reasonable and know that I respect and like you very much, and my political criticism of groups or views with which you align yourself is not directed at you, although it can be a fine line, I will agree.
