In the comment section to a post about foie gras jelly donuts, available in a Portland, OR restaurant for $16.

>>Portland land use: the third city:

Portland is between Seattle and San Francisco Bay. The 21st century has been invented in those two areas. What has Portland done?

Reminds me of Graham Greene’s The Third Man and Harry Lime’s great line:

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed … but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce?

The cuckoo clock.
