If the world ends in 2012, as the liars for money say, why would you want to be “famous”?

"Heene believes the world is going to end in 2012. Because of that he wanted to make money quickly, become rich enough to build a bunker or something underground, where he can be safe from the sun exploding."

Gee! Let me guess. Balloon Dad saw "Knowing" starring Nicholas Cage.

However, authorities suspect it was a publicity stunt to gain attention for a proposed reality television show about the Heene family.

"Meet the Know-Nothings."

Before the world ends in 2012 I hope to become famous as the guy who lives in a tiny condo with 2 cats and only goes outside to shop for groceries once a week.

>>>The suggestion that the world will come to an end in 2012 is based on an interpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar. However, scientists and Mayans themselves have debunked the theory.

What happened is the museum cleaning lady noticed some faint marks on the stone calendar that when translated said “Continued on Next Stone”.

Mr Heene emerged briefly from the house on Tuesday morning but said nothing.

Thus ensuring another 6 weeks of Winter.

A guilty Liberal here? You would think 'peace' might be his concern if world is jeopardy - which it is; really. He IS right there.

That said. . .am left, basically speechless, to explain such shallow narcissism when 'deep' is the Liberal norm.

A real "balloon boy" story mentioned in the SF Chronicle.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/10/20/MNHK1A7P5F.DTL

When the balloon boy story broke last week - about the 6-year-old who was supposed to be helplessly soaring through Colorado in a balloon - there were lots of reactions.

But Marin contractor Dan Nowell had the most unusual.

Been there. Done that.

In 1964, Nowell was a skinny 11-year-old who volunteered to help launch a hot air balloon in Mill Valley. But when the balloon abruptly lifted off, his fingers became entangled in the rope. As a horrified crowd of 200 spectators watched, the sixth-grader from Tamalpais Valley Elementary School was hoisted 3,000 feet into the air.

"People still refer to me as the Balloon Boy," Nowell said. "My kids got pretty tired of it over the years. I did get some interesting phone calls and e-mails last week. I said, 'Somebody is trying to steal my thunder.' "

Unlike the kid from Colorado, whose parents face fines and charges for manufacturing the story, Nowell's experience was real and captured the nation's attention before news helicopters, Twitter, and cable news networks came to be.

"The most extraordinary thing was the power of the press," Nowell said. "I got letters from all over the world addressed to 'Balloon Boy.' "

Dan Nowell, who didn't hear the command to let go of the ... Sal Veder / AP

Thus I saw falsehood and truth compounded fly abroad as one piece of news.

Thank you, George Noory. With his almost constant 2012 hysteria, some nitwits are bound to believe it. Just like Art Bell’s Y2K hysteria. Or Art Bell’s Hale-Bopp comet hysteria (which proved fatal to the Heaven’s Gate cult that believed him). Or Art Bell’s “the quickening”, which was the forerunner of Al Gore’s global warming. They pound away at this stuff, night after night — they’ve got to realize that some people are going to “bleeve” it.
