Laredo wins again by omission from Angriest Cities list

ABC news reported on one of the most recent best/worst lists involving American cities. I initially heard about the story on KTSA 550Am radio this morning. Upon getting home, I looked it up online and found the story in no time at all. As I clicked on the link to read the entire article, there was a slight delay in the response, I started to get somewhat mad and was looking for something to throw at the screen, when I thought to myself......wait, I don't want to add to the chances of Laredo being voted one of the Angriest cities in America, which is what this particular list is about, so I quickly cooled off and proceeded to enjoy the article.

As, it turns out, Laredo is winning again, a la Charlie Sheen, by the mere fact that it is completely absent from the list. So, we know that, according to Men's Health anyway, Laredo is not only NOT the angriest city in the nation, it's not even in the top 100. That dubious top honor was taken by  Detroit Michigan. Some of the criteria used to rank cities include a city's number of:  assaults, people on blood pressure medicine, anger management clinics and hours spent in traffic.

Fear not Motown, according the editors of Men's Health Magazine, who authored the piece, there's a bright side to all of these temper tantrums. They go on to explain:

what we don't know is how angry a city might become if we actually name it the "Angriest Town in America." Well, Detroit, go ahead and let us have it: You are officially the most spitting-mad metropolis. (That being said, getting angry isn't always a bad thing. In fact, occasionally blowing your lid can ease your mind, improve athletic performance, boost libido, and facilitate business negotiations.

See, doesn't that suddenly make your ulcer feel a whole lot better? But wait....when was the last time the Detroit Lions had a winning season? OK. so much for that theory.
