Miserable

"What does he mean, miserable?" you ask yourself. The word is a perfect description for the weather outside or the feeling Simon gets as yet another American Idol contestant warbles a song completely off-key. However, today the word describes a study Forbes magazine has done. You've seen the lists of the most expensive cities, the best places to live, the fittest cities. Now, the most miserable places to live, as determined by crime rate, unemployment and even the amount of Superfund dollars going to clean up toxic messes in the city. Detroit comes in at number one, followed by Stockton California and Flint Michigan. New York and Los Angeles also show up in the top ten. http://www.forbes.com/business/2008/01/29/detroit-stockton-flint-biz-cz_kb_0130miserable.html Interestingly, the pictures don't look miserable at all, a Stockton bookstore is featured for theirs! You think they could have taken a picture of a Superfund site or abandoned buildings or something more miserable.
