A dutiful wife visits her troubled husband in the facility where he’s temporarily housed and it makes the news. No, I’m not talking about Tiger Wood’s visit by wife Elin Nordegren. Balloon hoaxer Richard Heene was visited by his wife Mayumi for the first time in jail over the weekend.

ying liar Richard Heene, who lied about his son Falcon being trapped in a runaway balloon, reported to Larimer County Detention Center in Fort Collins, Colorado on Monday to begin serving his 90-day sentence for lying. Did I mention I think this guy is a liar?

It’s looking more and more like the Balloon Boy incident was a hoax. Despite both the sheriff’s and the father’s earlier insistence that accusations were off-base, that same sheriff now says criminal charges are likely to be filed in the incident.
