On cnn.com this morning is a story headlined "Blimp to help track Gulf Oil," relating how "a 178-foot-long U.S. Navy blimp will be used to detect oil, direct skimming ships and look for wildlife that may be threatened by the disaster in the Gulf." We can't stop millions upon millions of barrels of oil from spewing into the Gulf, obliterating an entire ecosystem, but we can keep tabs on it from a 178-foot-long blimp. What a world we live in.
