Pop Goes the Weasel

Legally Rambling (10/19/2009). Ok, so normally a story that involves storm chasing, the Roswell crash and the world ending in 2012 would get my attention, but one that involves child exploitation really makes me angry! If you don’t know what I am talking about it’s the “Heene spectacle” or in the vernacular- “Balloon Boy” – enough said!

Now, at last glance, it is my understanding that child protective services (CPS) had been contacted to investigate the well being of the Heene’s children. Hello! Richard Heene has always professed that aliens are humanity’s ancestors! I also read that he wanted to ride a motorcycle into a tornado! Who stopped this guy!

What’s amazing is that no one thought anything was up when Heene began to build a helium balloon in his backyard. It appears that he assembled it with foil, rope and duct tape. Well, I wonder what I can build in my backyard? At last, after two thousand years of research, the illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator! Come On!

What is really obscene is that his guy appeared on national television and acted shocked that his child vanished in the balloon. Who was watching the child?

My understanding is that the pending charges on the Heenes include, conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making false reports to authorities, attempting to influence a public servant … etc. The authorities are also seeking restitution for costs. I hope they have good lawyers! I can’t wait for the federal charges, because Heene also called the FAA. Yes, that’s all we need - a guy that can build a balloon in federal prison! Perhaps this is just the break all the stock fraud guys need!

Hey, I am a big believer in the “presumption of innocence” and can’t wait to watch it at work in this case, but … I hope he likes Johnny Cash! The Balloon and Weasel just went pop! … Ramble On!
