Is CNN breathlessly covering the “Runaway Blimp”?
Is Wolf Blitzer stationed in the Situation Room?
That would be completely adorable!

A suspect who’s believed to have detached the “Runaway Blimp” has been apprehended:
Oh for fucks sake. The blimp doesn’t cost $2.7 billion.
The JLENS blimp cost about $182 million and most of that is the cost of the advanced early warning electronic systems it carries onboard.
If I wanted stupid and inaccurate information I would be reading Red State, Politico, or some other hack website.
What next, ballon boy is aboard?
Step up your game TPM.

It’s very suspicious all of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails to the blimp can’t be found.
