But What About the Freshly Painted Schools?


Maybe Baghdad's Chamber of Commerce can come up with something to counter what's bound to be some pretty bad PR for their fine city:

Zurich is the city with the highest quality of life in 2006, while Baghdad, for the third year running, has the lowest, a survey published Monday shows.

Geneva and Vancouver made the top three in the list compiled by human resource company Mercer while Bangui in the Central African Republic and Brazzaville, the capital of Congo Republic, joined Baghdad in the bottom three.

There's more here and here (alas, NOLA wasn't measured), including a voucher for accuracy with the following statement:

Houston remains the lowest ranking city in the U.S.

Unfortunately, there's no transcript, but the Baghdad C of C could look to this old SNL sketch for inspiration (Sodom Chamber of Commerce).
