The "balloon boy" has now been identified as Falcon Henne, one of three boys in an family that appeared on the ABC series "Wife Swap" earlier this year. After doing a You Tube search, I unearthed this bizarre rap video recorded by the boys entitled, "Not Pussified." It mocks "over-protective parents." In light of what has gone on so far today, and given the family's history we should be skeptical about anything we hear from now on. All we know is that an eccentric family claims that one of their boys floated away in a balloon, but was not found in the balloon.

I find myself coming to AmSpec Blog to get news. CNN is behind the curve, and has none of this. Philip is way ahead of the story. Doesn't CNN have access to google?

Something stinks here thats for sure. I am from Colorado and I want these parents (I use the term lightly) to reimburse the state for this fiasco. Plus they surely will be charged. Its embarrasing for people in my state let me tell you. The kooks are taking over.

The family that stinks together sinks together.
