Hugo Chavez Disappoints Unqualified Offerings

Pulp Nonfiction § Unqualified Offerings: Hugo Chavez talks a big game, but persists in half measures. The promising headline, "Venezuela launches Zeppelin to tackle rampant crime!", turns out to be about mere surveillance craft. As someone on the Fate RPG mailing list wrote: "Now they need to arm them, hang biplanes from them, or pack them full of monkeys. Or pack them full of armed biplane-piloting monkeys." So say we all.
I agree. Mere surveillance balloons are somewhat of a letdown when the headline speaks of crime-fighting Zeppelins.
Throw in King Kong, Fay Wray, and Bugs Bunny and kwiminals will weely won away in fwight

Isn't that just a blimp? I thought a zeppelin had to have a rigid frame. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeppelin I cannot really be certain from the picture, but the same article refers to it as a blimp and doesn't give a lot of reason to think it differs from the ones seen circling stadiums.

"So say we all?"
HaHa. Sounds like someone is watching too much Battlestar Galactica.

Yes, when you stop taking baths.
By the way, I think some monkeys from India would be available.
