An American terrorist in Austin

The dude (bowdlerized PDF or non-bowdlerized HTML screenshot) who crashed his plane into the IRS building in Texas today could have been the cover photo for Susan Faludi's Stiffed, her 1999 work on how American men have been sold a bill of goods since the Second World War.

Not really sure what he was hoping to accomplish, even after I've read the note. He arsonated his house, too, so it's not as though his homeowner's insurance policy payout will cover his back taxes.
