Well, the whole “balloon boy” thing turned out to be a big hoax. That's the last time I spend my day watching a kid in a runaway balloon.
Usually when there’s a hoax involving a balloon it’s some kind of Countrywide mortgage scam.
It was smart for them to try this balloon stunt while President Obama is in office. It wouldn't have worked with the Bush administration. Cheney would have shot that balloon down so fast . . .
President Obama announced he wants to give every senior citizen $250 next year. This is part of his “cash for geezers” program.
