Yeah, sure.

So this 15 year old kid crashes his plane into the side of a bank.

Why?

A note in his pocket said it was because he took Osama bin Laden's 
appeal seriously.

But you would have to be crazy to take Osama seriously, and the kid was 
upper middle class
(private school, taking flight lessons), so a meaningless crime of 
juvenile passion doesn't make
any sense.

But maybe he was taking a drug approved by the US govt. FDA that 
commonly makes kids
commit suicide!!! Of course its still on the market, but its exactly the 
explanation America needs
to feel good. Yeah, thats it -- that drug must be the cause when we've 
eliminated all the other
possibilities.

Now that the world makes logical sense again, our lives can move along 
secure in the knowledge
that things that don't make sense in stageset America can be explained 
if you look hard
enough for explanations.

TAMPA, Jan. 8 -- A 15-year-old student pilot who killed himself by 
crashing an airplane into a skyscraper was prescribed an acne medication 
whose links to suicide and depression have been the subject of federal 
inquiries, law enforcement officials said today.

A prescription for Accutane, used to treat severe acne, was found at the 
home of Charles J. Bishop, Pinellas County Sheriff's Maj. Sam Lynn said.

"We are aware that he had a prescription," Tampa police spokeswoman 
Katie Hughes said. "We don't know if he was taking it, how long. . . . 
We don't know those details."

Calls to Bishop's family were not returned today.

The Food and Drug Administration says 147 people taking Accutane, which 
affects the body's central nervous system, either committed suicide or 
were hospitalized for suicide attempts from 1982 to May 2000. There has 
yet to be any conclusive evidence, however, that the drug causes 
depression or suicide, and the manufacturer maintains that it is safe.

Toxicology tests that will determine if any drugs were in Bishop's 
system will be completed in about two weeks, said Lee Miller, an 
associate medical examiner with the Hillsborough County Medical 
Examiner's Office...
