Atrios has a good one over on his blog today.
I’ve frequently said there are three kinds of cities (or colleges or countries or sports teams or insert any similar entity here).
People who live in 1st class cities never feel the need to tell everyone how great their city is. It speaks for itself. Think New York, Paris.
People who live in 2nd class cities feel the need to proclaim their greatness, and to convince you that they really are 1st class cities.
People who live in 3rd class cities just accept their lot and get on with their lives.
Scott and I disagreed whether San Francisco is a first or second class city. I think it’s borderline first class, he says definitely second class.
Speaking of first class cities, I’m going home to NYC next week. Unlike my Rome trip, ‘net access should be easy there, so I expect no blog interruptions.
