Venezuela launches Zeppelin to tackle rampant crime.
Venezuela launched a Zeppelin on Thursday to patrol Caracas, seeking to fight crime in one of Latin America’s most dangerous cities but also raising fears that President Hugo Chavez could be turning into Big Brother.
Why, that’s hard to believe!
Send the RCMP down there to revise their government pension plans- that’ll fix ’em!
(How do you say ‘Musical Ride’ in Spanish?)
Oh no, Venezuela has video surveillance, the bunch of commies. Oh wait, so does every other city on the face of the planet.
Speaking of what irritates ring-wingers http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070421/castro_mtg_070421/20070421?hub=World&s_name=
Viva Fidel
No accounting for birdbrains.
Zeppelins were a trademark of another socialist regime that proved to be quite a menace to international peace.
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. is not a socialist regime!

This story has nothing to do with a mass murderer and his ability to survive/get his Marie Antoinette medical care. Is about a soon to be mass murder. (Can we say Zimbabwe boys and girls)
As for the surveillance society, many on this blog would express there dislike to what is happening in Britain, most of Europe and to some extent what we have had to endure (I would say not all has been well executed.) The big difference the EU will not allowing a form of centralized control that will allow a demented person to take a nation to destruction as Hitler had. In other words the Europeans have forgotten a lot of lessons since the last war but they are not stupid as Hugo Chavez and his supporters are.
Well AL GORE or HUGO CHAVEZ supply the HOT AIR to keep that balloon aloft?
So Hugo is aiming to be the founder of the League of Extraordinarily Insane Gentlemen? Well, I guess steam punk had to go commie somewhere along the way.
I just hope El Jefe is using hydrogen in this gambit.
I going to start a pool on when the 30′ Hugo statues begin going up.
Those aren’t Zeppelins, Iberia, but BLIMPS.
Wow, a double post.
Going back to the article I see that the author is using the terms “blimp” and “zeppelin” as if they were interchangeable.
Zeppelins have a skeleton to provide rigidity. Blimps don’t.

So, you like how Chavez and Castro run Venezuela and Cuba?
I’m honestly interested to know what you think of their political acumen. In your opinion, do they do a good job governing?
Maybe Chavez is using the blimp because, since he nationalized large blocks of foreign oil companies in 2006, his new “go-to” guys don’t know how to extract enough of the damn stuff to fuel his helicopters yet STILL keep the spigots pumping 1.5 million barrels of oil per day into U.S. bound tankers. Oh, and China’s new found trading buddy’s ties to Chavez wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact the Chinese are schmoozing with Castro? Heck, one million+ barrels of oil per day leaving for China by late 2007 don’t mean nuthin’… Fidel’s just a great guy!
Hey, do ya think that if Venezuela didn’t have all that $63.00 crude, Chavez would hold on to power? Do ya think he’s just one Ubergovernor?!
But really, only a dipstick would believe … aw, fergit it
Absolutely BP-Bear. The author doesn’t have a clue. This “so-called” Zeppelin is technically an unmanned HanGIS non-rigid dirigible airship. But that doesn’t have quite the ring to it as Zeppelin does. Fake but accurate.
Zeppelins? Leave it to a lefty to want to go back to the thirties. Which is about the standard of living socialist economic policies will get all of them (except for Comrade Leader’s enlightened vanguard/goons).
And about walling off neighborhoods in Iraq, not a word.
the Berlin wall vs. the Iraq wall
one would have to be a complete retard not to know the difference, but since some leftards seem to fit the description, let me explain
1. the Berlin wall was used to keep the citizens of an enslaved nation(my wife’s family)from escaping to freedom
2. the Iraq wall is being built in an effort to keep an area safe from al qaida whackjobs
only an idiotic moonbat would compare the two
You can ease up on playing the apologist. Iraq’s civilian government has asked the US to cease and desist the wall’s construction (pesky buggers aren’t they?)
Jose (7:23AM)
You mean those “pesky” Iraqis have the guts to stand up to the evil crusading Satanic occupiers? Well, hey! Why didn’t they think of doin’ that with the last governor?!?! Think of all the bloodshed that could have been averted! I hear he was a reasonable guy, just looking to retire to the Spanish Riviera…
I notice there are commenters here who should pick up copy of “America Alone” by Mark Steyn.
Instead of defending pigs like Chavez, and dumping on the American liberators (yes, liberators, junior) of Iraq, I’m certain they would begin to understand that sometimes people have to fight, and even die, for their freedom, and the freedom of others.
Or would ANY defender of Chavez, Castro, Hezbollah, etc… wish to live under their regimes?
Don’t bother answering…
“Instead of defending pigs like Chavez,”
Don’t know what you’re talking about. I suspect you’re arguing with yourself. This is an act, much like masturbation, which best done in private.
“Or would ANY defender of Chavez, Castro, Hezbollah, etc… wish to live under their regimes?”
Well, if given a choice to live under the oppression of Batista and the US of pre Castro Cuba, I’d take Castro any day.
Would you like a airline ticket, birdbrain?
Jose, you get that off one of the cubicles in a campus bathroom?
Ya know, my sides split when I read it!
Look out i fel a plover moment comming on SQUAWK SQUAWK
I have been to Caracas and it is the scariest place I have ever been!! We were told to not stop for even the polce as they will try and extort money from you. There are 7million people there and 3 million are unemployed. Do think the have a crime problem?
The order for supplies to build thirty foot Hugos has no doubt already been placed: but would you care to guess whose face is most likely to start appearing on the sides of those blimps in the meantime?
“YOU! Perez 34265! PICK UP THAT BUTT!”
Give me a moment and i,ll poke my pointy beak into his balloon SQUAWK SQUAWK
