Top 10 US Places to Visit

Some ridiculous article I saw today listed the Top 10 places to visit in the United States. It included such awesome places as...Orlando. Orlando?

What? Orlando would top just about anyone over the age of 16's list of places to flee for your life. Right ahead of Somalia and Detroit. The article listed Los Angeles too, which is a great place to watch a baseball game and get stomped, or to sit in traffic for three hours as you try to go 10 miles. Not sure I'd want to travel with these people.

So I thought I'd share my own top 10 list of US places to visit. These are the places where I'd most want to take Long Duk Dong or some stinky cheese-eating euro Borat type to visit. These places embody the majesty and awesomeness that is the United States. After all, who needs France? The Riviera...meh!
