How Angry is Spokane?

MensHealth.com has ranked the 100 angriest US Cities.

Their criteria?

The percentage of men with high blood pressure, from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; FBI rates of aggravated assaults; Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers on workplace deaths from assaults and other violence; traffic-congestion data from the Texas Transportation Institute; and speeding citations per state from the Governor's Highway Safety Association.

I nearly thought Spokane hadn't made the list, but there, tucked between #67 and #69 is Spokane.

It's hard to imagine we're an angrier city than San Francisco, CA.
