Oh, goody—give the criminals back the tools of their crime. We’ve truly lost it.

As much of a screwball nutty felon that Richard Heene turned out to be, I have to admit that he staged the most entertaining day of breathless media bamboozling that I can ever remember seeing on TV.

I started disbelieving the story as it was in progress when it became apparent how small the balloon was in the broadcast video, though I should come right out and say that when the media reported that they feared an account that eye-witnesses had seen the boy fall from the balloon, I had to hold my crotch to keep from peeing I was laughing so hard.

Mark me down with the large part of the American public who was more than a little disappointed that the story wasn't true.

You are too kind. My thoughts about these parents are so much more harsh.
