Now it looks like they will have charges including child endangerment.

I got tired of listening to the balloon boy hoax news all weekend. I knew that the whole story was a hoax when they found the boy in the attic and when the boy made a gaffe slip about the episode being used for a show.
The media had been had. Time to move on.
The balloon hoax was to easy and Daddy Bush has lost it. Yes Daddy knows he has no control and now must do fewer speaking. Notice how
Daddy Bush invited President Obama to speak in Texas. It's all about the oil and business that Daddy Bush is having problems with. Keep your friends close and your enemy closer as Clinton would say. Daddy need Obama's help but he wont get it. Look for Daddy Bush to say his son GW is to ill to stand trial for War Crimes.
