It has recently come to the attention of some members of this blog that one frequent poster/creator has a particular disdain for the city of Los Angeles. His reasons for this negative opinion are many, some holding more water than others. Along with the citizenry that doesn't live in the real world, the sports fans who believe that the 6-inning little league rules apply to major league baseball games, and the traffic that causes many weekend visitors to be stranded at the airport for an uncomfortably long time, our fellow blogger has raised issue with the city's dirty air that has topped US charts and blackened US lungs for decades. Well, my friend, there is hope. LA no longer tops the lists for all three measurements of pollution. They have been supplanted atop the coaches' poll by a city that not a one of holds near nor dear to our hearts: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
While Sidney Crosby's arrival into the city of Pittsburgh brought with it playoff appearances and legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, it appears that the Kid fell short on his promise to lower the levels of short-term particle pollution. Maybe these particles will settle in the lungs of said Stanley Cup contender, thus giving the Buffalo Sabres a chance at the 8 seed in the East in 2009. There's always an upside, right?

Another pyhrric victory for LA today, as Forbes released the 10 worst cities in America for commuters. The so-called City of Angels finished "only" No. 9, but it's ranking of 72 hours stuck in traffic per person annually was "best" in the nation. Who's worst in the country for commuters, you ask? According to Forbes, it's Atlanta, with D-Town a close second. No word on where G-Rap finished in the standings.
