    Slightly less than a foofaraw, much more than a kerfuffle.

    This may rise to a debacle, which is extra.

    I know it's absolutely cliche, but someone's got to say it:

    YOU ONLY COVER US WHEN OUR KID NAMED FALCON PRETENDS TO FLY OFF IN A BALLOON!

    Can we cut the snark? This kid will lose his scholarship to space camp because of us.


    Found this on TFLN

    Wolf, they hide their son, they went on these shows, they knew what they were getting into.

    BTW, there may have been a lot of people making jokes here even when the ending wasn't certain, but we also saw right through this whole thing a lot faster than anyone else did. Cynics we may be, but cynicism pays off quite regularly.

    Okay, now there's video on the noon news has video of the balloon taking off with the parents in the foreground screaming "Oh no!" and kicking the dirt. Yeah, they just happened to be taping when their little boy was being carried away in a runaway balloon.

    BULLSHIT.

    The hell with Meredith. I think the parents need a slap in the face or two.

    I think the bill for the military choppers will be more than your average cab fare.
