• BTW, what do y'all think about the Balloon Boy incident?

  If that was actually a hoax dreamed up by his parents, I'm gonna be mad enough to spit.  It was horrifying when the little boy was said to be in that contraption, especially when someone reporting seeing something fall out of it.

  The notion of a child being in it then falling was enough to make me ill.  Stormed heaven on his behalf, begging that he be brought home in safety.

  Well, you can't say that prayer wasn't answered in the positive, though not as expected.   

  If it's reliably demonstrated the whole thing was a publicity stunt, not only should the parents be liable for every single dollar spent on that wild goose chase, but charges ought to be filed, and a case could be made they're unfit parents, to boot.

  Even if it wasn't a hoax it still seems to me they ought to pay for the chase.  That's their kid and they're responsible for his actions.  Sheesh.
