It qualifies in other ways, too

Today President Bush visited very, very close to my old hometown, Edwardsville, Illinois. Even though Edwardsville is the county seat, though, it is smaller than rival Collinsville, and that's where Bush went to speak in favor of tort reform as a pro-business group listed the county as "the nation's leading judicial hellhole". If you look at the first words of Bush's speech, you'll see he referred to Collinsville's most famous landmark: a large water tower in the shape of a giant bottle of ketchup. We drove by that thing all the time. It's nice to see it's still there.
