What the helicopter?

Yes, it's 2:20 in the morning, but I can't sleep because there's this insanely loud low-flying helicopter that's circling my neighborhood.

What's the deal with that?

1. They found another person trying to register their dog to vote.

Details at 11...

2. At that time, circling low, almost certainly the King County Sheriffs chopper looking for a bad guy. I've had that twice over my Shoreline home.

3. It could be Al Gore burning of some carbon credits.

4. Sorry Stefan:
My fan broke down and so I dialed up the copper chopper to give me some fresh air.
My Bad.

5. Is it a black helicopter?

6. I second #2. That was probably Guardian One (the callsign of King County's chopper).

7. They may have been trying to round up all neighborhood dogs registered to vote. Maybe comparing paw prints.

9. You've been working too hard trying to bring down the Power Elites in Seattle.

I suggest you need a fun day at Kent Cornucopia Days -- enjoy the booths, rides and gyros. It's 10 city blocks festival right in downtown Kent near the Kent Station Mall.

I'll be manning the Republican Booth there for the early afternoon!

10. Its "THE BLACK CHOPPER" didn't you see the "BLACK SUBURBANS" out by your place with the 2 guys talking into their sleeves?? Wonder what the "BEEPS" on your phone are? When you come home you have noticed "THINGS" have been moved not quite where you left them?? Your computer is being hacked! "In all seriousness" keep your eyes and ears open and stay "AWARE" be prepared to make a "RUN" for it??

11. Oh gosh they've been doing that a lot out here in S King too... sometimes it sounds as if they are hovering 3" above the roof.

I wonder if its military doing some after dark practices.

12. A couple of days ago the same thing was going on around this area. For about 1 hour a copter was circling from 11pm to midnight. We eventually also saw what looked to be a couple of people with flashlights looking for someone, and then eventually the helicopter turned on a search light and seemed to hone in on a target.

No idea who they were after, or if they even got the person(s). Couldn't find any news coverage the next day to explain it.

But it was certainly loud!

13. Speaking of Black Helicopters, I just looked at the transcript of the Firedoglake Darcy Burner Blogfest..Wow Daniel K, Goldy, Shoephone the whole cast and crew. Goldy admits he's officially a Burner Campaign consultant, along with Sandeep and the regular hit squad from the KC Democrat Party. Does his offical, self admitted status mean we can have his program counted as a contribution? I am just saying maybe we can get the prosecutor for dipstick Island or Auburn to sue on our behalf. Or maybe we can get one of those high powered downtown law firms that will directly profit from business Burner will send them to help us out.. What do you think?

14. What the heck Stefan?

Are your running guns and blow? I didn't know you were a Goodfella.

15. You need to get laid.

16. I've never understood the fascination/fear of "black helicopters." It's not a big secret. Many of our helicopters are black. Would they prefer we painted them pink and mounted disco balls on the rotor?
