injaynesworld it's another "Sunday Recap"

So the big story of the week was the balloon boy (aptly named "Falcon") who actually turned out to be only a box boy.  Far less interesting, but that didn't stop The Today Show, Good Morning America, and others from dragging the story out ad nauseum until the little guy literally hurled on national television.  The big question now seems to be was this or was this not an elaborate hoax by the Heene family who, it's been revealed, have been hawking a reality show about themselves all over town for months.  (Notice the clever use of yet another bird metaphor.)  Well, I don't know if it was a hoax.  I do know that if I'd done something like that as a kid, my ass would still be blistered and that kid doesn't look like he's gotten much of a punishment to me.  Although, as the story develops, being part of that family may be punishment enough. 

In other riveting news, Levi Johnstone has signed to pose naked in Playgirl.  Reportedly, he is getting in shape by working out with a personal trainer and eating moose meat.  No, really.  Moose meat.  And, apparently, he shoots the moose himself.  Personally, I couldn't eat something that I had looked in the eye.  Call me a hypocrite, but I want someone else to kill my moose.  Meanwhile, as Levi's star is rising, according to a new Gallup poll Sarah Palin's favorability rating has plummetted to a new all-time low of 40%, despite her highly-anticipated book, "Going Rogue."  It would seem that most people just want her going gone. 

On a sad note (not really), it seems that white, fat racist, Rush Limbaugh, will be denied his opportunity to own part of the New Orleans Rams, a team of 35 toned and buff black men who hate him because, well... he's a white, fat racist.   Can I get a collective "Awwww."

Moving on, our "Golden Balls" award this week goes to the producers of this clever political ad.  Enjoy.  I know I did.  And, as usual, please share your favorite moments of the week, because I can't be everywhere.
