I R SEW SMRT!
introducing seattle — the daily beast’s 7th smartest city!
i love their reasoning. we have nothing to do but read here in seattle since the weather is so bad. i guess they’ve never been here in the spring or summer.
The reasoning behind their (the daily beast) choices seems to be some of the most trite, hearsay, arbitrary bullshit I’ve seen in a while. And keep in mind I’ve read a lot of the nonsense about healthcare death panels, so that’s saying something.
How SLC got so high on the list is really telling. They dock Seattle for having “relatively few educational institutions” (WHA?!), while giving SLC praise for lots of schools. Umm, I spent a good portion of my life in Utah, and I’ve run into more colleges and universities in the Seattle area by accident than I’m aware exist in SLC. And of course they make the bad weather crack at our expense.
Granted, our bike-snobs are generally arrogant, ignorant asswipes, and they never mention that idiocy in our score, so perhaps it evens out.
And how on earth is San Antonio the worst of Texas? I mean, I’ve been to SA and Houston, and daaaamn… Houston wins the prize. One drive in Houston will tell you that…
