f.close() will fail because f is a list, not a file object.

 > f=open('/home/mlorfeld/states.txt', 'r+').readlines()

This line while being fine, probably isn't the best idea in the interest 
of clairity as f traditionally denotes a file pointer, not a list.  I 
would give it a more meaningful name.
