I was somewhat irritated at the breathless all-day coverage this little ploy received, given that it was only "likely" that the little wiener was in there. I would be laughing more if I weren't so disgusted with the media's reactions. And don't forget this kind of piffle is how the media avoids talking about real news like the ongoing health care scam, the dithering on Afghanistan, cap-and-tax and the white house insanity toward Fox News.

This is an episode of Myth Busters waiting to happen. Adam and Jamie could recreate the helium space craft, but instead of using Falcon they must use MAD DAD. After all this guy is primed to become America's next Evil Knievel only instead of jumping stuff he could explore the final frontier–space. About 66,000 feet up. See ya around Balloon Buffoon.

I am almost positive that even if the city\\state gave him a bill, he wouldn't pay a dime of it, and the taxpayers would foot the bill anyway. I guess Obama would take care of it with money from his stash. Obama! Obama!

I love Dennis Miller's superb commentary. He can cut to the heart of the matter like no one else can… with an abundant vocabulary.

I'm still trying to figure out why the Octomom continues to be talked about. Every few weeks, we still hear a story about "The Octomom dishes on life with 8 kids" or "The Octomom shares her thoughts on Jon and Kate." I thought we'd all agreed that the woman is certifiably insane?
