In a parting gesture to the citizens of the District of Columbia,retiring Senator Joseph Leiberman has introduced a bill in the Senate to makeDC our 51^st state called New Columbia. The bill would redraw theexisting boundaries of the city by carving out The Mall, most federalgovernment buildings and monuments from the proposed state.
Today, in the Style section of The Washington Post, MonicaHesse and Dan Zak have shared their own thoughts for redrawing the capital city’slines. Number one on their list was making our Columbiapart of their Columbia.

1. To eliminate confusion, the town of Columbia, Md., shall become part of New Columbia but be known as Old Columbia.

In case you might mistake this for anything other thansatire, consider that one of their other suggestions was to make Georgetown part of Connecticut.
Still, it’s always nice to be number one.
