This is obviously George Bush's fault. And if it wasn't for global warming, this little tyke would be at home having cookies and milk, and writing a song about Obama.

Apparently, USAToday got it wrong (natch). It is a helium, not hot-air, balloon, if Denver 9 got it right.

Best of luck to the rescuers. The boy's parents must be sh**ing bricks.

Better get a helicopter over it right now to blow it down.

Balloon down. Kid not inside. God bless.

I appears now it might have been some type of staged event or hoax, family appears to have more than a few screws loose, thinks Hilary Clinton is a lizard...
