I figured that Kyle. It was my idea of a little joke. Lots of times I
look at weather forecasts on US television stations and the map used
looks like the US is an island (no Mexico or Canada)

No, no. It's good. I'm glad you posted it.
How about putting just a vague hint that there are other landmasses
attached to the US, something like this:

I'm not entirely sure where PuertoRico is so I left all those little
islands - one of them must be the right one.

I notice that on the map on this page:
http://www.kgs.ukans.edu/AASG/AASG.html#STATES
there are insets of Alaska and Hawaii. How about adding those to your
map?
