PORTLANDIA

As you may or may not know there is a current TV series on the IFC Network called PORTLANDIA. What the series does, and does very well, is to satirize the city of Portland Oregon. The funniest thing is that the city does a much better job of unintentionally satirizing itself more than the TV show does. For example the city is currently holding honest-to-goodness real live hearings as to whether or not it should join a Federal Government sponsored ant-terrorist network. The city "leaders" and the population are seriously trying to decide whether it is better to not join and have as many terrorist acts in the city as possible, or join and have to deal with reality. That ladies and gentlemen is Portland's real dilemma should it grow-up and act like an adult or should it just live in the made-up world of fairy tales and hob-goblins?
