Goodbye, DF

 Ah, el Distrito Federal! Capital city of Mexico, pulsing heart of the nation, by some standards the largest city in the world....is no more!

You see, Mexico's Congress has just voted to bring the city where roughly 1/6 of the population lives out of political limbo and make it a full-fledged part of the country.

Now the old DF will become officially known as 'Mexico City' and Mexico's 32nd state. The reform was largely pushed by the left-wing PRD party, which controls the city government. The measure was approved by 23 states.

Now, what about Washington DC?
