God was resting after creating the world and the Archangel Michael came over to congratulate her. "Great job, God! What harmony, such balance. You have heaven and earth, the land and the sea, light and dark, day and night, male and female..."
"Thank you for noticing," she replied, "and I'm particularly proud of one of my creations. I call it Washington and the place is green and temperate. It has mountains, oceans, rolling fields of wheat, vast vineyards, incredible vistas, thundering rivers and some of the nicest folks, friendly, kind, generous...."
"Sounds too good to be true. So God, where is the harmony, the balance?"
"Ahh, let me tell you about the other Washington."
