The Perfect Rant

FOX News posted this transcript of a letter (essentially an extended suicide note) sent by Dr. Nicholas Bartha, the guy who apparently blew up his brownstone in NYC. It's fascinating reading, in a train-wreck sort of way: a view into a mind that's gotten rather unhinged. You can't exactly call it coherent -- it seesaws paragraph by paragraph between right-wing political ranting and personal history -- but there's something almost artistic in the blend. It's quite long, and the English is a little broken, but I find it curiously compelling...

The boy seems more than slightly unhinged, eh?

Well, in general, sane people do not blow themselves up. Still an interesting look.

You might think. But then again, I have some friends from Calontir....

Perhaps I am over-working the term "sane". Again.

Hmm. I started to read it, but it reminded me too much of some of the less hinged things people send us at work.
