District of Columbia

The District of Columbia is the capital of the United States of America. It is not a state, nor is it really part of the United States as such. It is American, however. It is never to be confused with the District of Colombia, which is not American. It is Colombian. The District of Columbia is not in Colombia and is therefore not Colombian. It is also not located in British Columbia and is therefore not in Canada. It's American. It's just not part of the United States.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton represents the District of Columbia. She was interviewed by Stephen Colbert for The Colbert Report. Congresswoman Norton lost.
