Balloon Boy

I'm going to keep this brief.

It was so much fun watching the amped up television media make fools of themselves over the Balloon Boy hoax. Any thinking person will understand that our political news is handled the same way.

Here's the headline in my local newspaper:

Reenactors Set to recreate the burning of Norwalk.
