America Has 52 States, and other TyposAccording to this press release, America has 52 states. The new version of the online news specialist website, DailyTopStories.com, now delivers hourly local news from several valuable news resources for the whole 52 states of the USA.. Fifty-two states? News to me. I guess you could call is 51 if you counted Washington, DC, and then throw in Puerto Rico just for giggles? Just the same, their site only lists the 50 states, so I have no idea what I'm missing here. Thanks Barney for that link. While that could've been some sort of marketing gimmic, it wasn't as bad as this political screw-up: I know I'm not voting "Saxton for Governer" [sic]. Posted by Jake on 09/25/06 @ 12:08 PM

Let's see: Safeway (forum), plus Wild Oats makes 2. No need to consider Albertsons, the older Safeway, or the Sentry? I'd call the Sentry "Ericksons" but I'm not sure if that's how you spell it. mex said on 09/27/06 @ 04:26 AM: I'm pretty sure Australia is the 51st state! Trust me...I live there... Dayna said on 01/08/07 @ 11:36 AM: i also thought that there was 52!! states.....oops Kathy said on 01/27/07 @ 04:37 PM: Thank you!! It seems lately people consider incorporated territories are now states!!! Guam and Puerto Rico are not states, we only have 50! Man, what is happening to America. First we won't claim a language and now we are adding territories as if they are states...what's next!! Come on people!! Nix said on 02/16/07 @ 06:28 AM: i thought for many years that ther were 52 states in america. lots of my friends think this too. yh0ngz_101 said on 08/16/07 @ 03:12 PM: Philippines is the 53rd state of america hahaha!
