My goodness. Forbes.com has just made a lot of enemies.
But I suppose you wouldn&#8217;t be real happy with them, if you made their list of America&#8217;s Most Miserable Cities. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s nothing personal though &#8211; they just wanted to come up with a snappy list because they know that&#8217;s all anyone on the web [...]]]></description>

<p style="padding-bottom: 8px"><strong>My goodness. Forbes.com has just made a lot of enemies.</strong></p>
<p style="padding-bottom: 8px">But I suppose you wouldn&#8217;t be real happy with them, if you made their <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/06/most-miserable-cities-business-washington_0206_miserable_cities_slide_2.html?partner=email"><strong>list of America&#8217;s Most Miserable Cities</strong></a>. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s nothing personal though &#8211; they just wanted to come up with a snappy list because they know <a href="http://standarduprightposition.com/2008/05/19/top-10-vacations-in-hell/"><strong>that&#8217;s all anyone on the web wants to read anymore</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom: 8px"><strong>So who&#8217;s number one? Stockton, California</strong> (&#8220;Only 15% of Stockton adults have a college degree&#8221;). For what it&#8217;s worth, I like Stockton &#8211; it&#8217;s home to the delightful <a href="http://www.visitstockton.org/search/calendar/search.php?allwords=festival&amp;cid=0&amp;title=1&amp;desc=1"><strong>Asparagus Festival</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom: 8px"><strong>Number two? Memphis, Tennessee</strong> (&#8220;Incredibly high rate of violent crimes&#8221;). C&#8217;mon, <a href="http://fedex.com/us/"><strong>FedEx</strong></a> is there, how bad could it be?</p>
<p style="padding-bottom: 8px"><strong>Number three?</strong> <strong>Chicago</strong> (&#8220;Lousy weather, long commutes, rising unemployment and the highest sales tax rate in the country&#8221;). Ouch, but hey &#8211; they&#8217;re also home to <a href="http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=chc"><strong>America&#8217;s Team</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom: 8px">See the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/06/most-miserable-cities-business-washington_0206_miserable_cities_slide_2.html?partner=email"><strong>complete list here</strong></a>.</p>

Saw this earlier, but forgot to post it:
David Letterman&#8217;s &#8220;Top 10 Signs You Have a Bad Travel Agent&#8221;.
My two favorites:
&#8220;Hotel stay is six days and two nights.&#8221;
&#8220;Your &#8216;plane ticket&#8217; is a post-it note with the handwritten message &#8216;Please admit one to the airplane&#8217;.&#8221;
