Full story: snafu-ed.blogspot.com

That's the same sheriff who was so convinced it wasn't a hoax at first.

But now I think it's even more likely that Henne will get a tv show since he's just becoming more famous by the day.

"Richard Heene added to the strangeness yesterday when, saying the family did not have cable to see what was being said about his family, he placed a box out in front of the house, telling reporters to place their questions in it."

I hope that the cops put the warrant in there.

Here's 3 kids that should be interesting to see in 10 years. Kids are resilient though, thank goodness.

What does that say about the people whose job it is to figure out what is a lie and what is the truth.

They had to have a 6 year old explain reality to them.

What a bunch of bad jokes.

nail em..... those parents are IDIOTS, prob voted for dems too..... they think everything is free....they made that kid sick because he had to lie, wasted $$ that only obama has, that could have been used to feed the hungry, or send illegals back to their homes, or spent on our troops...... funny how authorities are being demonized over this, not the perps..... same ol shnit.... i hope they nail any press orgs associated with this...

I, along with my family, were glued to the tv during this ordeal and we all prayed and prayed and prayed. You can imagine our look of horror as we watched them recover the balloon without the little boy on board. We were swept up in tears of joy when the boy was found safe at his home. Thank the lord!

Why, I just finished talking to my neighbor and she explained how all this was a hoax and it was meant as nothing more than a publicity stunt to garner wealth and fame. I feel as though I could (pardon me) vomit! If this is really the case, why then I believe the police ought to pay the husband and wife a visit and BEAT THEM BOTH TO DEATH WITH THEIR POLICE BATONS.

I love how you can praise the lord and then talk about beating another sentient being to death with a baton in the next post. That is hysterical.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Aries

It's one of those days when you'd be wise to mind your Ps and Qs if you want to avoid putting both feet in it or feeling like a fool. The trouble is that you're finding it hard to think before you speak, and you're rushing into situations without thinking about the possible consequences. All you can do is to apologize and try your hardest not to let it happen again.
