Love King havent read it yet, will put in on my list.............

One thing: far be it for me to argue with wikipedia, but I remember the story taking place in the usual neck of the woods that he writes about, not in a midwestern city. Other than that, everything else matches my memory. Warning, tooner, when you read a Stephen King book written under the Bachman name, it is usually more depressing than usual, never a happy ending or a happy journey for that matter.

Yet not a word about Dr Amy Bishop the Alabama killer who worshiped bho.
Her lawyer is going to try using the insanity defense, in my book anyone who worships bho is nuts.

When I first saw the pictures of Dr. Bishop, that face was rather disturbing or, to put it more precisely, the mind that I imagined that would lurk behind that face. For some reason, a news story mentioned that John Irving, the author of "The World According to Garp" (and a few notable others) is the cousin of the alleged killer's mother. When I heard the name, I realized where that sort of face would belong. If you remember the movie, "The World According to Garp", Garp's mother was running a sanctuary for women with all sorts of problems, she had the kind of face that would have fit right in that sanctuary.

4. The media knew immediately who was responsible and had immediate access to his supposed suicide/manifesto.Yet when real terrorists attacks or real acts of violence occur, we wait for law enforcement officials to hold press conferences. The media waits and gathers the facts on the ground. There is no rush to judgment. The fact that Shep Smith on Fox (as well as AP and Reuters) and the others in the media were already releasing snippits of this man's supposed diatribe makes me wonder. How long did it take us to learn the motivating factor of the Ft Hood shooter? It usually takes Google a good 2-4 hours to index a blog and maybe 24-48 hours to index a low-content site. So how did the media find his name so quickly? How did they know to search for Joe Stack? His body didn't get discovered until late afternoon. Did someone recognize him in the cock-pit before he crashed? I would also remind everyone that we are a nation of laws and people are innocent until proven guilty. And in this case, Joe Stack was "crucified" by the media (including Fox) before the case was investigated. The media is acting recklessly and on emotion.

So you're suggesting there was a pilot on the grassy knoll?

:winks:

What's an event in Texas without a grassy knoll!

Actually, he was pretty much all over the map; he was a quintessential 'little guy' who had tried to be his own boss; his anger at the tax code for what he saw as screwing up his ability to live outside the corporate prison drove a lot of his anger. He was angry at the bailouts, hated big corporations as well as the Catholic Church and the IRS. Don't think he can be labeled 'left' or 'right'; just an angry man who saw himself as a victim of big goverment and big corporations. Can argue with some of his choices, like his dabbling in that tax avoidance movement in the mid 80's, but can't argue with the basic premise that the little guy has no hope in the world today. We are all just cogs in the corporate greed machine, less than dirt in the eyes of the big money boys.

Hey, we can always vote out the government pukes we get fed up with; how do you get rid of Blackwater, or Halliburton, or Wells Fargo, or United Healthcare? Corporations don't even pay attention to their shareholders, except for the big instituions, who give a rat's patootie about anything other than quarterly profits.

Thanks to the John Roberts Supreme Court, our chains are now complete: pay homage to your new corporate masters, all!

sounds like a libertarian...:)

Obama should be all over this. A war on the IRS would definitely get his approval rating way up.

Good post. I agree, this guy was all over the map and it's only the political shrills who are trying to pigeonhole him on one side or the other. I've made my point on how to break the
state capitialism/state socialism juggernaut so there you go.

Too late, tooner, you just made the list.

This guy's story reminds me a little of a Stephen King story (written under a pseudonym of Richard Bachman) called RoadWork. Anyone who has read it will know what I am talking about.

A little bit about the book from wikipedia (not to to be confused with WCMACapedia) : the story takes place in an unnamed Midwestern city in 1973–1974. Barton George Dawes, grieving over the death of his son and the disintegration of his marriage, is driven to mental instability when he finds that both his home and his business will be condemned and demolished to make way for an extension to an interstate highway. The major theme is the transience of human existence, and the lack of permanence as a failing of a maturing society.
[edit]
That's odd. That was the plot in Douglas Adam's "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". Wonderful trilogy.

BABAGANOUSH,
Unfortunately, the pilot was a participating member of his local TEA PARTY movement. This nutcase had IRS problems going back 20 years, and his real tax problems originated at the end of RONALD REAGANS term, was made worse in BUSH 1's term, caught a break during Clintons term, then finally destroyed under GW BUSH's term, only having NO WAY out of his liabilities and crashed his plane after setting his home on fire during Obama's term.

This is exactly the type of person the TEA PARTY movement attracts. Congrats ************ youre creating monsters.

Peace.:crazy2:

That's interesting for sure. A quick Google search Joe Stack tea party member didn't reveal anything to back the claim up.

Could you post a link to info verifying your claim as I'd be interested in seeing that. I'd think by now that various law enforcement agencies investigating this would have made such a link and made it public.

Thanks in advance
