I lived in Chicago for over 20 years. It just misses the cut.







Probably due to south siders (did I say that out loud?)

Texas- this state produces nothing but stupidity, especially when we let someone connected to the state touch the oval office

Alaska- sell it back to Russia and superglue Sarah Palin into a wolf costume. I can't wait to see what she would say about shooting wolves from planes after a month or so.

Actually, wouldn't Peurto Rico, USVI, and territories be first?

let me get this straight... Chicago and Los Angeles are not world class cities, but Washington D.C. and San Francisco are? Huh. Why don't you just add Atlanta and Indianapolis to your world city list and remove London and Hong Kong. Makes about the same sense.

Can I ask what you are basing your conclusions on? I don't want to call into question your experiences because I'm sure they add validity to your own views as you see them. It's just an odd cataloguing of world cities.

Like LBJ? You know... the guy who forced the passing of the Civil Rights Legislation... the guy who basically forced the racists to withdraw from the Democratic party making the choice a little bit clearer to those with a conscience... Are we talking about that guy?

Also, I'm a product of Texas. Am I stupid? Is that your implication?
