Pity the Man Who Lives in Portland

Mercy.

Portland.

What a crappy city.

10% unemployment. Homeless wandering around. And that free bike program where they tried to emulate Holland I think it was. Yeah, that worked out in stars.

I mean with New York, Los Angeles and Chicago you at least have a megalopolis that provides you with the best the world has to offer.

But Portland? You have all the draw backs of a large city and none of the benefits.

Now, just imagine being a capitalist and living in this socialist enclave.

Such is the sad situation for Captain Arbyte.

Visit him and send him an e-mail some time. I'd hate to see the Oregon weather get to him and have him go into a funk.

Oh, and be sure to mention how much you like his new Babe-Magnet Buick LaCrosse.

Hey, I'm all there with ya! How hard is it to make a sporty littl bugger of a car like a Boxter or a MR2 Spider? Oooo, no! We gotta have us one of dem der jelly beans of wheels Tauruses.

Truly, aside from union costs, the utterly uninspiring design of US cars just sucks.
