Men’s Health magazine (courtesy of USA Today) is out with a list of America’s “drunkest” cities and topping this list is none other than Fresno, CA. Yup. Fresno.

The list, which can be found in the March edition of the magazine, drew upon data such as “death rates from alcoholic liver disease, booze-fueled car crashes, frequency of binge-drinking in the past month, number of DUI arrests, and severity of DUI penalties.”

The top 10 drunkest cities are:

1. Fresno, Calif.
2. Reno, Nev.
3. Billings, Mont. 
4. Riverside, Calif.
5. Austin 
6. St. Louis
7. San Antonio 
8. Lubbock, Texas
9. Tucson
10. Bakersfield, Calif.

Los Angeles comes in at 48 and NYC comes in at 93.

Did you listen to Sarah Palin’s final speech as the Governor of Alaska? Were you confused? baffled? What the heck was she uttering you might be wondering.. Well.. as it turns out – it was really a poem!!!

OK – it wasn’t.. but it certainly sounds better as one as we found out last night when William Shatner read her speech as a poem on the Tonight Show.

Slate.com is responsible for the above hilarious image of what Obama’s News Feed MIGHT look like on Facebook (assuming of course all the folks on that feed actually had accounts on there). Great stuff – had me laughing for some time. I particularly liked the Nancy Pelosi humor (“Did not” vs “Did too”). Thx to Phoebe for that linky!
