A guy named Joe Stack set his house on fire, steals an airplane, crashes into an IRS building.
Now, I have no way to know if this is authentic. It was on this site — http://embeddedart.com/ (The website is dead now.)

I love it.
The GOP House Leadership invited President Obama to come speak with them at their retreat in Baltimore today. They promised to be all respectful and stuff and not hurt his feelings or get in his face. They even agreed to let the TV cameras roll as they engaged the President in a question [...]
