Even though the Christmas caption contest should technically be over by now, Mike submits a belated caption (top photo) for last week's contest. Congratulations, Mike's America! You see? Fair and balanced, no hanging chads, low participant turnout; easier than winning at an Indian casino.

Happy New Year Wordsmith!
That's your Huckabee, caption? Lol.
My New Year's post isn't up yet.
"Huckabee Searching for Pakistan"
"Shhhhhhhh, be vewwwy, vewwwy quiet; I'm hunting wabbits, heheheheheheh."
Hard to top Mike's - that is a classic, but here goes.
"Remind me next time to do these campaign pictures in the SUMMER!"
I fired my shotgun over the heads of reporters and I'm damn proud of it!
P.S., Happy New Year Word :-)
Hard to top Mike's - that is a classic,
You're not trying to influence the judging, are you?
Ken's just suggesting that my entry should be declared the winner by unanimous acclamation.
Anything less is clear evidence of tampering and bias!
I'm still waiting for the winning caption that ties Mitt Romney into this, ala Dick Cheney's hunting accident.
Do I have to win this, myself?
I thought aow's was good, btw, because it tied in Huckabee's geography problem into the captioning.
"So tell me again; why is my gun camouflaged, but I'm wearing an orange hat?"
"I'm still waiting for the winning caption that ties Mitt Romney into this, ala Dick Cheney's hunting accident."
PROOF that this contest is RIGGED!
Face it! My entry linked Huckabee to Elmer Fudd, the classic cartoon figure in a way that transcends narrow, momentary linkage to Romney or Dick Cheney.
I dunno...the caption by that newcomer, john lilyea, is looking mighty good....
OK, since the easy one seems to be in demand;
"Is that Dick Cheney behind that tree? That one - right there! What? Are you blind? Behind that tree right there! I see you, Cheney!"
Not bad.
Bug given how Mitt and Huck are bleeding each other out, Huck with the gun "accidentally" shooting Mitt in a Cheney-like hunting incident...that's what I was thinking.
Too bad Quayle's disappeared off the political landscape.
Well, I approached it from the view that Cheney probably doesn't approve of Huck's brand of "conservatism".
Everyone knows you can't hunt without a hat and I can't see Mitt putting a hat on that perfectly coiffed head.
But, if I have to explain it, it's not funny.
Perhaps an accidental shooting of Romney, with the unlikely excuse that he "had mistaken his hair for a _____?"
It has been a pleasure getting to know you this year. May 2008 be full of many more experiences and memories.
Happy New Year!
Tom
Wrong post, but thanks Tom!
Oh wait...is that your caption entry?
I'm so confused...
Happy New Year to you, too, Wordsmith. I was honored to see you in my "house" - I hope you stop by often.
As for Romney's hair - a squirrel? Raccoon? Need more rum.
My first thought was Elmer Fudd, but Mike took that already. I don't have a second thought.
Happy New Year!
jonn,
You are welcomed here anytime. I have you linked.
Yes...raccoon, skunk, that sorta thing.
Indigo,
It's not plagiarizing mike's idea, if you just phrase it differently....phrase it better, you know? Just take a good idea and make it better! I'm sure Mike won't mind. He's not so petty.
Huckabee: "I may not win this but I'd make at least as good a VP as Cheney... DUCK!"
"It's not plagiarizing mike's idea, if you just phrase it differently....phrase it better, you know? Just take a good idea and make it better!"
Word: I'm going to put coal in your stocking for Kwanzaa!
You bent over backwards coaching the second bests.... but in the end had to face reality: The master captured the essence of the photo first time out and no one else came close!
Better luck next time to the also rans... Not to worry. These things are SOOOO RIGGED that only a supremely transcendent entry like mine could overcome the built in bias so evidently on display!
Happy New Year to ALL!
Word: I'm going to put coal in your stocking for Kwanzaa!
"Lol" at Mike.
Talk about a sore winner! (^_^)
LOL! Sorry to have missed this one, but I could not have come up with anything as good as the winners anyway. Hilarious! :)
