  Richard Branson and Steve Fossett were on the Today show this morning talking about their urlLink upcoming attempt to fly non-stop around the world. Fossett was the first man to go around the world solo in a balloon, and Branson has made a few attempts himself.
Katie Couric asked the question "Why are you doing this? " to which the two gentlemen beat around the subject with things about aviation records and adventures and etc. etc. but neither had the guts to tell the TRUTH. Here is what Branson SHOULD have said..."Well Katie, both of us have more money than we goddamn know what to do with, so why not risk our pathetic lives doing something that most people only dream of but haven't a prayer of ever affording to do". Rich people suck.
