CINCINNATI? CINCINNATI?

Clearly insane study ranks Miami 48th among America's craziest cities.

Detroit is at 41 and Miami is only 48?? I mean, I know we have Kwame Kilpatrick and Monica Conyers but come on ... ?!

And Siouxie, they better not catch you selling oranges on the sidewalk...

1. The photo for DC appears to include Dave.

2. Too many budding psychiatrists in Miami switched to plastic surgery during med school.

Nashville is only 32? I've got to get out more often. Perhaps if I wear my feather python when I run run we'll reach number 31.

[Siouxie]

I demand a recount.

[Mitch]

Feather boa. That's what I meant. But what do I know? I'm clearly insane.

Dr. Johnny Fever, Venus Flytrap, Les Nessman, and the gang might concur.

Cincinnati has one thing that no other city has that is the Bengals. From their crazy helmets to their ability to confound fans no team has the ability to drive their fans to madness quicker then the Bengals.

i've been to 'frisco, and i live near cinci, and i gotta say...we won! we won! neener, neener, neener!

[mikey]

The probably go crazy trying to spell their city's name when having to give address.

Let's see 2 Ns, NO 3 Ns, 2 Cs...

[Schadeboy]

Wow...Tucson, AZ - only 75 miles away from where I live - is number 8. I can totally believe that.

[Reverie]

Somehow, I think the criteria is invalid. Fewer psychiatrists per capita would indicate MORE insanity. Of course, if the practicing psychiatrists are totally incompetent... Nevermind.

The Daily Beast clearly feels you South Floridians do no drink enough...

48th? Really???

[Spiny Norman]

As unlikely as Miami ranked 48th, La-La-Land is only 27th.

Frisco (they hate it when you call it that...) ranked #2 makes some sense, at least. It's been the Left Coast Capitol of Weird since the days of Emperor Norton.

Don't knock the hollerin' contest in Charlotte until you've seen it.

[Braniff]

New York is only #19 for stress?? I'll KILL you if you don't change that score.

[oneblankspace]

Remember, Cincinnati is the place that elected had Jerry Springer as mayor.

[O the U(manity)]

I give little credence to this whole analysis, partly due to the fact that they make it sound as if SLO is a few minutes away from Riverside ... (similar to mud' ... I've traveled to both places ... neither of them seemed particularly crazy, IMHO ... now Tucson, Phoenix and Minnepoopolis, yeah ...

[Steve]

I notice that in every one of those cities, the "psychiatrists per capita" number is greater than one (1). That is, the number of psychiatrists in each city is actually greater than the number of people who live in the city.

There must be a lot of psychiatrists who live in the suburbs and commute into the city.

[AlanBoss]

Cinci is the city that once put their art museum director in prison for obscenity but is also the birthplace of Hustler magazine.

[Mad Librarian]

Mitch is right--Nashville is a LOT weirder than this score reflects. And Oklahoma City has a higher stress level than Dallas? Not when I was there. Maybe that was just my life then as opposed to now.

But I'm glad Foat Wuth made the list. Any place where the city government advertises a job opening for a "drover", and where "cattle on the freeway" in the morning traffic report isn't that big a deal, ought to be labeled as... something.

Any study that ranks Tucson and Providence as crazier than Miami and New Orleans is clearly deeply flawed.
