The Balloon Boy

The balloon boy incident was a very unifying event. People at one moment in our country's history were all thinking about this one boy and this one family. For two hours, the world was transfixed as a giant silver balloon containing a small boy floats listlessly across the sky. I remember following along online with the breaking news,. Of course I did. It was a heady time early Twitter. RIP cool Twitter is what I have to say.
