Po' Rt.(wing wacko) Land -- the graveyard of elephant Republicans, where each social issue is gripped differently by six blind men listening to a programmed animatronic illiterate LIAR read it to them on the radio ... extinct as the beaver, leave with the beaver.
Speaking of Rt.wing Republicans waaaaaay past their Last Sale Date, this is gonna kill their Mc Lame puppet campaign: YouTube.COM/watch?v=wTitf2gjMmk .

Portland: A City of Seconds
Second largest city in the Northwest.
Second largest floral parade.
Second largest hammered copper statue in the world.
Second most bike-friendly city in the world.
Second most lustful city in the U.S.
Second most eco-friendly city in the world.
Second most climbed mountain in the world (Mt. Hood).
Second best organized marathon in the world.
Second best U.S. city that combines local food with exercise, diet and overall healthy living.
Second city to adopt "The City That Works" slogan.
Second city to adopt "Keep [Insert City] Weird" slogan.
I heard a piece of folklore that "The City That Works" was copied from Chicago after some news team did a story about Portland city workers sleeping in their trucks. Do any lifelong residents know if this is true?

I always thought that "The City That Works" sounded like "The Car That Runs," faint praise. Not that I have a better idea.
When I was a kid the Rose Festival had a theme once of "For You a Rose in Portland Grows," which was often changed to "For You a Nose in Portland Blows."
Are we getting close?
