Yeah but something tells me the dude wasn't as calm as the monk was when he immolated himself.

Confucius once said:

"Give a man a fire and you will keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life…"

I know I shouldn't have, but I laughed at that one Sensei...

I'm with you - those things are a real PITA.

I guess with some government services on furlough they had to call in the Human Torch?

Damn. I was hoping that his highness was smoking again and had a Richard Prior "accident".

Self immolation doesn't seem to motivate Americans. Vietnamese and Tunisians - sure, but here we're too busy keeping up with the Kardasians to notice.

If someone does that in California, they'll probably get ticketed by the CA Air Resources Board.

Like a buddy of mine who is a paratrooper said if your chute does not open you have the rest of your life to figure out how to open your reserve. Or how long do you have to clear a mine field, the rest of your life.

I find it interesting that the current series of whackjobs are Black Americans. The Navy Yard shooter, the Capitol Police Chase Driver, the guy in Oregon shooting the trooper, and now this crazy cat.

Have white folks figured its time to give the minorities their time to shine as crazies? If so, when do the Cubans go nuts? Will I get a call from someone telling me it is my turn?
