Oh how I hate D.C.__________God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the Archangel,found him, resting on the seventh day.He inquired of God. "Where have you been?"God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction, and proudly pointeddownwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I'vemade." Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?""It's a planet," replied God," and I've put Life on it. I'm goingto call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance.""Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.God explained, pointing to different parts of earth."For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunityand wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor.Over there I've placed a continent of white people, and over thereis a continent of black people. Balance in all things,"God continued pointing to different countries."This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very coldand covered in ice."The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a landarea and said, "What's that one?""Ah," said God, That's Washington State, the most glorious placeon earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes,forests, hills, plains, and coulees. The people from Washington State aregoing to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and theyare going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremelysociable, hardworking, high achieving, and they will be knownthroughout the world as diplomats, and carriers of peace."Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then proclaimed,"What About balance, God? You said there would be balance."God smiled, "There is another Washington...wait until you see theidiots I put there."
