Statehood & New Name for Washington DC ?

Gonorrhea?

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Why not just leave it the way that it is since the place has had the Washington D.C. name all of this time already?

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Why does it seem like everything is being changed just for the sheer freaking heck of it? I hate when people do things just because that they know that they can do the things, in other words they don't have a real reason for dong the things in the first place.

It would be too small to be a state, and there would be 21 cities in the U.S. with greater population.

Rhode Island is thought to be a rather small state but would still be 20 times larger in size than the new state of Washington, DC.

Ah but not so quick...size is only part of it. Density can easily overshadow apparent mass.


"A major research institution has announced the discovery of the heaviest
element yet known to science - Governmentium. It has 1 neutron, 12 assistant
neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 111 assistant deputy neutrons for an
atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called
morons that are further surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like
sub-particles called peons.

Governmentium has no electrons and is therefore inert. It can be detected,
however, since it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can take a reaction that normally occurs in
seconds and slow it to the point where it takes days.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of three years. It doesn't decay but
"reorganizes," a process where assistant deputy neutrons and deputy neutrons
change places. This process actually causes it to grow as in the confusion
some morons become neutrons, thereby forming isodopes.

This phenomenon of "moron promotion" has led to some speculation that
Governmentium forms whenever sufficient morons meet in concentration,
forming critical morass. Researchers believe that in Governmentium, the
more you reorganize, the morass you cover."

Yea, there sure is a lot of density in Washington.

What do you think would be a good name for Washington DC? Before I read the full headline, I thought just Columbia (not New Columbia). Maybe just US Capitol? Or Capital City (like Vatican City?)

This would be great news for Dems if it happens.....

Washington, D.C. has a great sounding ring to it, and that would be a real bummer if we couldn't say it anymore.

 

[TooTall]

This idiotic attempt to make DC a state is just the liberals trying to gain more control over government. 2 more senators that will be permanent Dem is what they want.

They have tried to get the Puerto Ricans to vote for statehood for many years. Same reason.

Or in honor of the band Genesis Land of Confusion
and if we would like to honor Native Americans Land of heads up asses.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

50 states is a good even number, and it would alone be dumb to make it 51 to make a tiny little state out of D.C.

Maybe if it was significant like Puerto Rico.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

This entire statehood issue for DC is a democrat political ploy to get more dem representation in the fed. The district was designed to temporarily house temporary civil servants of the fed but career politics has skewed that premise.
DC residents can move a couple miles in either direction and get representation in MD or VA.
This is nothing more than typically sleazy democrat politics trying to sway an intellectually-challenged electorate.

When I was a kid, I was kind of sorry the Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers in 1971.

Washington A.C./D.C.

The new governor and the mayor would have the same job.
