Any place but Portland

So, this whole downtown streetcar idea is getting some momentum. I like the idea of streetcars, once again, running from Downtown to the Tower District. I'm a little worried that there won't be enough people living downtown by '09 to put it to proper use, buuut...we'll get there, and this will help.

Here's the problem, we're sending people to check out Portland's light rail. Portland huh? Damn, Fresnans have a big hard-on for Portland. Couldn't we have gone to some other rail city? I mean, after the titanic nerd-blog-battle, it just doesn't seem right.

Sure, lets get some streetcar action happening. But, why do we have to look like Portland's nerdy little bitch to do it?

Native Fresno Assholes

Apparently, Fresno's major export to Portland isn't grape related products, it's assholes.

Fresno native and current Portland, Oregon...er...ite...ass, Scott Moore, wrote a weak little article about Fresno's current "Strong Mayor" format being adopted by Portland. He used it as an excuse to flame Fresno, calling Fresno "a royal craphole."

Bill Mcewen, Fresno's top columnist, got wind of it and blogged about it. That prompted a Portland Mercury blog about Bill's blog.

A blog brawl ensues.

Don't move away from Fresno then call it a "craphole" because the Fresno blogsphere will find your ass!
