On radio today, Glenn looked at a new study that shows the ten best cities of liberals, conservatives, and centrists. It's an interesting list, full of cities that you may not know (especially if you're a conservative). There are two big problems: 1) conservatives get kind of screwed on the cool cities and relegated to suburbs and 2) this just reinforces the political division tearing the country apart.
"This really bothers me. Why are we dividing ourselves up into cities?" Glenn asked.
Check out the breakdowns below:

"I've never heard of either of these three," Glenn said to the first three cities on the conservative list. "Can we have a city?"
Glenn also lamented the loss of Boise, Idaho to a growing number of liberals who are ruining the state in the same way they ruined Washington State.
"I've heard all the nuts from California, they're doing to Idaho what they did to Washington state. They were like, we're just free living. We don't believe in pants. California has gotten so strict now. We don't believe in pants and we believe government should regulate against pants. We are just free spirits, but we want to make sure that everybody has the exact spirit we have so we're going to regulate that," Glenn joked.
