It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Poor Falcon. Learning, as Daedalus and Icarus did that if you fly too close to the sun, you are in for trouble!

I must be from another planet, because I swear that I missed the two hours of CNN coverage on the boy. In fact, I did tune in at some point during the afternoon, but horror of horrors! even the story of a six year old boy trapped in a balloon and floating across Colorado wasn't enough to hold my media savvy attention. Really, how sad is that?

Again, like the Gosselins, I feel sorry for the kids. They didn't get to pick their crap parents, and now they are stuck with them.

I'm worried about a culture who treats baby bumps and infants as cool celebrity accessories and where parents pimp their kids to be "famous" is the beginning of Armageddon.
