They're in the sky again today, hovering above downtown Portland, those damnable news helicopters.
I live in downtown Portland.
They ruined more than one night of sleep for this old boy in the past weeks. Chop, chop, chop, chop, the noise is such an irritant.
Covering Occupy Portland with what the news organizations would try to convince you is first-rate news gathering.
Piss on them, it is an unnecessary extravagance. The news stations are doing for journalism what the Occupy crowd is doing for realpolitik.
That is not much.
What is the goddamn point? I'll put it this way--the choppers are more of a nuisance to this community than any number of campers in the parks.
Junket Sam got rid of the campers. Why can't he do something equally functionary with the news organizations? They're equally absurd.
Portland needs a No Fly zone right about now.
