Three is a new comedy show on IFC called Portlandia about a stereotypical LA couple moving to Portland. IFC released a promotional video called The Dream of the ’90s is alive in Portland. They get it right about the loony leftist idiocy called People\u2019s Republic of Portland Oregon.

Portlandia: Portland Dream of the ’90s – Portlandia – Series – On Air – IFC.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few choice lines<\/p>\n

“Remember when people were content to be unambitous, sleep to 11, just hang out with their friends; when you had no occupations whatsoever; maybe working a couple of hours a week at a coffee shop.”<\/p>\n

“Not in Portland. Portland is a city where young people go to retire.”<\/p>\n

“It’s like Portland’s almost alternative universe. It’s like Gore won. The Bush administration never happened. Portland, it’s almost like cars don’t exist. They ride bikes, double-decker bikes. They ride unicycles. They ride the tram. They ride skateboards.”<\/p>\n

Maybe it because Portland is trying to became a socialist dictatorship driving out business from Schumacher Furs to Colombia Sportswear along trying to take away our personal liberty in how we chose to eat, shop and transport ourselves.<\/p>\n

A recent study shows<\/a>\u00a0 Multnomah County is second to last in private-sector job creation when ranked among 199 Western state counties. Other facts include<\/p>\n

\u201c198th out of 199.
\nRanking of Multnomah County in private-sector job creation out of the 194 counties and 5 multi-county areas in the five western* states from 1997 to 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMultnomah County has lost 26,463 private-sector jobs
\nsince 1997. It ranks second to the bottom in job creation
\namong 194 counties and 5 multi-county areas in the
\nWest* over the last decade.\u201d<\/p>\n

No wonder why \u201cPortland is where young people come to retire\u201d. Without any job prospects, except as an activist, Portland is the place be a hip, unemployed, and a bum<\/p>\n

Perhaps instead of The Dream of the ’90s is alive in Portland it should be The Nightmare of the 00\u2019s and business is Portland<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
