They're going to refloat the Costa Concordia next week, and if all goes according to plan, they'll tow it to Genoa, where it will be scrapped.
Greenpeace has announced that it's sending the Rainbow Warrior to block the movement to Genoa. They want it to go to a nearer port.
Imagine our joy.
I thought that sucker had been sunk. By the French? Something like that? (Aha; that was the First Rainbow Warrior. This is the third one.)

I suppose it could be worse: We could have the Sea Shepherds get involved. At least, when they are not busy deliberately ignoring the Rules of the Road and trying to get loaded supertankers and liquidified natural gas (LNG) carriers beaching themselves or involved in collisions while entering/exiting ports.
(Bonus infamy points for ignoring the Rules of the Road on jet skis and colliding with Coast Guard escorts while harassing Indian tribes conducting ceremonial hunts.)
It also might keep Greenpeace from trying to purchase ex-Soviet nukes, and giving weasel excuses when they are caught.

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:

Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
