Balloon Boy, Swine Flu and Cowboy Cab
| October 21st, 2009The Associated Press: ‘Balloon boy’ reminder that TV is full of shams
So since the town rolls up the sidewalks at 7:30 and I have been whacked by jet lag a little more than usual I have had lots time to watch CNN and Fox. Balloon Boy was the big news. Oh, the humanity… Days and days of the Heene family. Little Falcon puking into a pan on camera. Then puking into a pan off camera. Gulf War hero journalist Wolf Blitzer stumbling over the big tip off as Dad back peddled. Larry King raising an eyebrow and cutting to a pharmaceutical commercial. Ladies and Gentlemen… everybody out of the pool…
Yes, you do have a knack to coin a phrase or two. Are you in Barça now or soon? Lets meet for a good coffee or just jacket potatoes. I’ll be there soon. Ciao
Yessir, I am. Let’s hook up.
