Gloom and Doom - We Are #1

I have been saying it all along and now it is official.  The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Area is #1 in the Least Happiest People.  According to a recent study done by the University of British Columbia's Vancouver School of Economics, the WB/S area has the most miserable people in the entire United States of America based on a population of 1million plus.  Two other Pennsylvania areas cracked the top 10, Erie was number 3 and Johnstown was number 6.  Don't get me going on Johnstown and the Flood Tax of 1919.  So three out of the top 10 were in the Keystone state.  All 10 unhappy areas hail from cold weather climates.  The Southern and Western states had no cities in the top 10.  Also states like North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Idaho and other Midwestern states were also not in the top 10.  There goes your cold weather theory right out the door.

Let me just say that I am not surprised by Wilkes Barre/Scranton being on the top of this list.  We have the biggest bunch of no good, miserable sons of bitches on the planet.  We have a bunch of low life welfare recipients here, a boat load of alleged disabled folks who think they are entitled to everything for free and a multitudes of senior citizens who are just plain nasty.  We also have the most miserable people who think everyone is trying to either rip them off or get one up on them.  The people of our area just plain SUCK!  The Valley with a Heart has turned into The Valley with a Hard On.  You say hello to a stranger on the street and they either look down or grunt and click a response.  Who the hell knows what they are doing.  In general we are a very unfriendly people here.

Along with all of this, let's pile on the City of WB with 13 murders in one year, our politicians right down to the judges are corrupt and everybody and their brother is stealing from charities.  Also, taxes keep going up and the towns keep instituting new fee's to blow because of their fiscal irresponsibility.  The area is a mess.  In the famous words of Jack Nicholson as The Joker, "The town needs an enema".  I say an enema with Prozac or maybe napalm.
