U.S. State Capitol Ranking

"la sagesse par le classement"

 

Mission Statement

I like to visit state capitols and then force rank them from 1 to 50, much like the largest integrated oil & gas company in the world. By doing this I hope to reward the top performers, incentive the middle and ruthlessly weed out the bottom. 

Vision Statement

To be the finest U.S. state capitol forced ranked website in the world.

Miscellaneous

Etymology: The word capitol is from Middle English capitoile, capitolie, from Anglo-Norman capitolie or capitoile, Middle French capitole and Latin Capitōlium (“the Temple of Jupiter in Rome, the Capitoline Hill”), probably from caput (“head”). As a French magistrate, via French capitoul. 

The Best Damn Capital Joke Ever Told

"How do you pronounce the state capital of Kentucky? 'Lewis ville' or 'Louey ville?'" After the mark responds with either pronunciation, then you say rather blithely, "Funny, I always pronounce it . . . Frankfort."
