Not to further inundate anyone with Joe Stack's highly public suicide by plane crash, but it's not everyday you get a front row seat for this kind of shit. I work across the freeway from the crash site, and our building shook. I'm not sure if it was from the plane flying so low over us or if it was the explosion, but the ceiling and glass doors rumbled. Outside was nothing but dark smoke, fire, and gas fumes. I do want to give big kudos to all the firemen, police, and EMS responders who were literally there in less than 5 minutes after the crash. Way to go. And, i've got to give the opposite of kudos (finger wagging?) to the news networks who jumped on this thing like Osama Bin Laden was flying the fucking plane. It was a nasty suicide, and something that maybe deserves a couple of hours of broadcast time, but it's not 9-11. You're never going to have ratings like that again. Instead, you should focus on the 6 gold medals that the USA won yesterday and the bitchin aerial moves of Shaun White.
Anyhoo, everybody's got problems and no one likes to pay taxes, so next time someone has a problem, take some fucking Midol and go about your fucking day. Or, crash into my work so i can take the day off.
One last thing. Word on the street is that before Mr. Stack crashed a plane into the IRS, and before he set his house on fire, he supposedly set his cat on fire. Can anyone verify this? Blaming the IRS, your wife, the Catholic church, your CPA, and George Bush is one thing, but what did Mittens do to incur the wrath of Stack. Come on man!
