Blog Guy, have you ever thought of running for national office? I mean, you live in DC anyway, so it’s not like you’d have to move very far.

Thanks for asking, but I just couldn’t handle that much compromise.

Ah, I hear you. You mean the hypocrisy, the back-room deals, the corruption?

Nah, I mean all the high-fives. I can stand that other stuff, but I will not high five, even if it means my political career.

Look at this top photo, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton high-fiving Turkey’s foreign minister. What is she thinking?

As you can see, both Democrats and Republicans do it here, all the time.

I see what you mean. Do we know what Clinton and that Turkish guy are high-fiving about?
