"Maryland is a state so midnight blue that five counties in the westernmost part of the state want to peel away to become the 51st state. Well, why not? Some dreamers in the nation’s capital want to convert the District of Columbia into New Columbia. They have to get into a long line. Barack Obama once imagined that he was already president of 57 states (and later imagined that Charleston, S.C., and Jacksonville, Fla., were on the Gulf of Mexico), so geography has become fungible."
