State of Washington, DC and the State of Washington. What could possibly go wrong? And who would ever mix those two places up?

Upon departing DC, someone once claimed it to small to be a state and to large to be considered an insane asylum.

Area 51. Already taken? State of Stalemate. State of MoneyPit. State of HeinyHole.

Why the rename? Another way to waste time and not handle important issues?

My high school chummm...ps and I drove from the Maryland suburbs on Indianhead highway into DC to buy beer and wine.
Maybe they could turn DC into a giant liquor store.
Guns, liquor and fireworks—like a Missouri convenience store off I-44, but giant.
Make the critters telecommute and put a secure server in the geographical center of the country: Lebanon Kansas.
The richest counties in America can then go directly to hell.

It’s the District of Columbia precisely because it’s NOT a state. It’s a district. So it’s going to be a state and a district at the same time?

Idiots.

But these are the people who, IIRC, hounded a man off the City Council because he called something in the budget “niggardly.”

No, the perfect place for a new nation’s capital would be the bootheel of Missouri. It’s right in the middle of America and on the New Madrid Fault, so if it erupts, the capital will get swallowed up.

When this sewer becomes a state, where are they planning on moving the national capitol? Canada I hope.

Virginia and Maryland ought to ask for their land to be returned to them.
