balloon

Some people have a fear of anything that will expose the facts on Al Gores money making scheme. Bill Hobbs has the details on one city manager who used his power to revoke a permit to fly a balloon near Al's house.

Americans for Prosperity have secured an alternate location to launch their “Hot Air” balloon protest after Nashville Parks and Recreation revoked their permit:

I haven't updated this week because I have, quite frankly, eaten very little that was worthy of note. And what I did eat that was noteworthy occurred last night and both items were prepared by friends. I ate three banana macadamia nut with cream cheese frosting cupcakes (yes, three which is why I didn't sleep last night) and some beet salad. Yep, beet salad.

Londoner, Lefkos Hajji, wanted to ask his girlfriend to marry him. So he got a ring ($12,000) and a helium baloon ($1) and combined them by putting the ring inside the balloon before he went to see his girl. He thought (I guess I can use that word here) that as he popped the question, she could pop the balloon. Cute idea, huh?

Nathan Moore is somewhat surprised at the resurgence of Hillary Clinton and sees the Obama balloon losing air rapidly:

“…but it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life…”
