What is not silly, however, is the amount of time and money spent on this fiasco. DIA flights were rerouted, police and emergency personnel were engaged, private helicopter and plane owners were giving of their time to try to help..this man and his wife should face the consequences...and as a sidenote, if they love thier child, they should have his name changed so he doesn’t go through the rest of his life being known as a fraud.

This is not a national issue.

You are right, I concede to your point. The ballon story hits close to home for me. But, your complaint is a valid one. We, as a nation, are spoon-fed “celebrity” mindless news, i.e. runaway brides, police chases,would-be killers wearing diapers, celebrity meltdowns, while the economy, health care and a two front war rage on. The dumbing down of a nation continues, in our schools and in the news. I stand corrected.
