monkeyrotica would be an awesome director of the National Museum of Health and Medicine:
The disorganized state of the Army Medical Museum is an example of vicious circle funding: hardly anybody visits the place because it’s so out of the way, and they don’t give the museum much funding because hardly anybody visits. What they need to bring the crowds in is a decent traveling “theme” exhibit, like, say “Kids Swallow the Darndest Things!” or “Deep Inside Truman Capote’s Rectum.”
I envision fog machines, lasers, and LOTS of Henry Mancini.

The Travel + Leisure city rankings spurred a lot of comments, but we enjoyed Reid‘s rip on San Antonio:
I’m sorry, but there is no fucking way San Antonio is in the top ten food cities. There are city blocks in this town that have more quality restaurants than that suburban wasteland of a “city” has.
Even its tex-mex restaurants are barely any better than Chevys.
I agree with Hoodrat that the question is by whose standards are these ranked. Stupid middle-aged white dudes in S.A. for some telecom convention or something lame like that might just love all those skeezy restaurants on the River Walk, but anyone with more tastebuds than golf-shirts would be able to tell the difference between tourist traps and genuinely good restaurants.
