Interlude #2 -- A Rant

Oh, for Gods' sake!  I made the mistake of looking at one of those "fattest cities in the U.S." articles and I see that Detroit has outstripped New Orleans to take the First Place Honor.  Great.  Fabulous.  I searched the entire article twice and could find no documentation of criteria used or how this was determined.  It couldn't've been done by doctor visits; our unemployment rate is too high -- not that many people are insured any longer.  Can't blame me for it; I don't live in Detroit -- I'm in the "rich" 'burbs.  :D

Sorry, that just flew all over me; what are articles of this nature supposed to do?  Allow people in other cities to "tsk tsk!" themselves into a frenzy?  Let Ann Arbor feel even more superior than they already do?  Get federal money so Lansing can spend it on everything BUT making things better for Michigan as a whole?

Oh, who the fuck knows.
