Told You Ballon Boy was a Hoax

Preview for Sunday 102509

Hey folks,

First, I'm not here. Seriously. As you read this, I'm in Jacksonville Florida. I will not be back until Sunday Evening. I am ACTUALLY working on the Big Sunday Edition Friday night. No Health and Science today. Just not enough time.

Welcome to the Big Sunday Edition of the OPNTalk Blog. Glad you could stop by. You know, it's a good thing I am away. After this, I will need a break just to calm down. Obama Insanity is starting to effect my health and well being. I need a break. But fret not I will return on Tuesday.

Since I'm not here, the Links will not work. I can not link to something that is not there yet, so just scroll down. If you are someone that gets this preview in the Emails, then just click onto the OPNTalk Blog and scroll down.

Coming right up?

Don't worry, the links should be up sometime Sunday evening. All that in a second. First, I want to take you back to last Sunday's Preview. I said this.

So what do I think about Balloon Boy? You know what I mean. Richard and Mayumi Heene frantically called 911 to say that their Helium Flying Saucer got away with Little 6 year old Falcon Heene inside. After hours of manpower, Helicopters, Police, Fire, Rescue, and suspense as the world watched, little Falcon was hiding in the Attic.

Sorry folks, but looking at all this, and looking at this family, SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL! I'm not kidding. When asked why he {Falcon} did not come down from the Attic when he heard his Mom and Dad call him, he said he was doing it for a SHOW! The family has been on a Reality TV Show Twice, video tapes nearly any and everything that they do, and now are appearing on whatever show will have them to discuss this "near tragedy."

Problem is, it IS a hoax. They Video Taped the launch. There never was a basket on the balloon, Falcon was hiding, and there was no way he could have got up TO the Attic without help from his Father or a latter that was not there. So this whole thing was a farce. In my opinion, the kids are nothing more than pawns for the Parents to get the attention and get on TV. Someone needs to do something about it. I see CPS is involved and I just hope that they do not split up the kids. But the Parents? I do truly feel someone needs to go to Jail.

Well, well, well, looky here. CNN - Documents: 'Balloon boy' dad had hoax in mind, wife says

(CNN) -- The wife of a Colorado father at the center of the "balloon boy" saga told authorities that the giant helium balloon was specifically created for a hoax to draw media attention, according to court documents released Friday.

Mayumi Heene told Larimer County investigators that she and her husband, Richard Heene, knew that their 6-year-old son Falcon was hiding at their Fort Collins home the entire time, even as police and military scrambled to search for the boy, according to the documents.

The admission by Mayumi Heene was made October 17, just two days after the balloon was released, according to the documents.

The Heenes initially told authorities that they believed their child had flown away on the balloon, and when the balloon landed without him, they expressed concern that he may have fallen out of the device.

The couple hatched the plan about two weeks before the incident and "instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax," according to the documents.

Calls to David Lane, Richard Heene's attorney, and Lee Christian, Mayumi Heene's attorney, were not immediately returned Friday.

Richard and Mayumi Heene are each facing a number of local charges, including conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and attempting to influence a public servant, Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said Sunday.

Lane told CNN earlier that the sheriff was overreaching and that the family deserve the presumption of innocence.

The Federal Aviation Administration is also investigating the incident.

Richard and Mayumi Heene met in a Hollywood acting school and pursued fame for their family in the world of reality TV, Alderden has said.

The Heenes have appeared on the ABC program "Wife Swap." Richard Heene also chases storms, brings his family along and takes videos. TLC, which produces the show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," said the Heenes had "approached us months ago" about a possible show, "and we passed."

Told ya so. I'm glad to see them, uh, her, admit it. We'll have to wait to see how this plays out.

Anyway, go get your go go juice, whatever that may be, and lets get right to it.
