This guy is a few cards short of a full deck. The video posted elsewhere of the lift off shows he was right there at the time. The sheriff is currently investigating and maybe child protective services will take a look at these folks to see if they placed any of the children in danger with their hauling them out of bed to "storm chase" tornadoes and hurricanes.

Heene and his wife were aspiring actors in Los Angeles who met at an acting school

Oh yeah? Hmmm.

[US Navy Vet]

Californians, figures...

The state of California filed a $5,812 tax lien against Heene in 1993, and records show a small-claims judgment of $5,000 was filed against him in Los Angeles County in 2006. County tax liens totaling roughly $2,000 were found in connection to the production company, which is now known as Alternate Reality Productions, according to productionhub.com.

He's the perfect democrat as long as he doesn't pay.

Funny how quickly the left-wing media can find information on these two people who are technically nobody’s and can’t find any information on Obama. Well, maybe I should rephrase it to “won’t” find.

Why isn't anyone saying it?
PUBLICITY STUNT???

It couldn't be more obvious!
I think this many should be charged for every expense incurred by the CO county public safety personnel, the State, and the National Guard

Father and son:

Why weren’t his kids in school? Or does this wierd family homeschool their kids?

The shame of it all is that we were glued here, as it was happening, while we were watching the news. Such sympathy was felt for this young boy and his family. Things like this make people not care about anyone. We will probably be thinking twice, the next time this happens.

I was glued here for an hour. One person kept insisting for us to do the math..this thing couldnt support the kids weight, but we all ignore this persons knowledge. We should have paid him more attention..because he was probably right.

These people are sick..if this was planned. How stupid for them to think a 6 year old innocent baby, wouldnt blow the whistle on them.

[CedarDave]

I had to laugh at this:

His neighbor, Bob Licko, said he frequently sees the father of three working in the garage on various scientific projects, including a "flying saucer" and a machine that "puts out more power than it uses." Licko said it's apparent Henne loves delving into scientific endeavors.

Trying to invent a flying saucer and a perpetual motion machine. I suspect he may have used hallucinatory drugs once or twice that muddled his brain. Clearly a few neurons aren't connecting.

I believe the kid pulled off this ruse.

If he did, and were he my child, I would not spare the rod

*DING DING DING* !!!!

We have a WINNAH!!!!

Speaking of sick, when the kid was asked questions on both GMA and the Today Show he got sick as if on cue. Poor kid is being taught how to lie but obviously hasn't quite got it quite right yet. Reminds me of that movie with Ryan and Tatum O'Neal, Paper Moon, where the kid goes around during depression days telling a story of woe so that they can scam honest, caring people out of their scarce cash.

The boys are aspiring rappers too:
