Hugo Chavez Disappoints Unqualified Offerings

Under the title "Pulp Nonfiction," Unqualified Offerings writes:

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.
