    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I prefer we call it the Capitol Region (Acela) and the 12 Districts.

      You were warned.

        Nice picture

        Watch the left coast go broke and turn into Benghazi, or maybe Somalia

          I was born in the Mid West, to people born in the Great Plains. Sounds about right.

          Education is extremely important.

            Notice how "Acela" has NYC in it, but the rest of the state is not.

              No, Acela has a C but not an NY.

                Appalachia's pretty correct, except it should also include a bit of North Carolina. Culturally it'd be a better fit.

                Please love yourself.

                  "Capital?"

                  "Capitol" refers to the building, right?

                  But then, there's this:

                    Correct. It's also sometimes used as a proper noun that conveys a place related or attached to DC.

                          @Klaus Yes! I've watched the first 2 movies with the boy.
