We’re suckers for a good action photo. This one from Cary Scott Photography, shows one of Washington’s infamous motorcades flying up our streets. And–ahem–we as voteless taxpayers of the District pay for that security. This photo also reminds us that some high-ranking folks are visiting us! Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip of England are touching down in Richmond this afternoon, and will be coming to Washington as part of their trip. Curiously, Her Majesty has only visited the United States under Republican presidents: Eisenhower, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43, according to Wikipedia. We wonder why. Do Republicans make better hosts? Maybe the party is secretly trying to re-enlist our nation as part of the Commonwealth? Any other guesses?
