Photo caption contest!

Today I had a special duty for The Newspaper - which employs me. Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty made a quick stop in our town (an unusual event, since we're in the southeast corner of the state, and are usually ignored by politicians) to make a speech about his "accomplishments" in the legislative session. He wanted to point out those little things that went right, to counter the massive amounts of hell he caused by dumping the entire deficit in the hands of individual towns and saying "Deal with it so I can get re-elected."

Those weren't his exact words, but I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

Anyway, I was there to take notes and take pictures, and out of the three dozen pictures or so that I took, there was one that really stood out. There was one that really said, "I am Tim Pawlenty, and I am here to get some booty." Here it is:

There were many other photos that were better journalistically, but this one is my favorite. This one is my baby. I showed it to my boss, and we started thinking up funny captions for it. Here's one of the cleaner ones I thought up:

Anyway, this got me thinking. What if I let you, my faithful readers, submit your own captions? I could - *gasp* - hold a contest to see who could write the funniest caption! I could also hold a contest for the worst caption, the caption that makes no sense and sounds like it was written by some drunk!

Let's do it, reader. Let's see what captions we can think up. Click on the "Comment to Paul" link at the bottom of this column and submit an entry. Enter as many times as you would like. Daily Ramblings is not responsible for injuries suffered while entering the contest, except for polio, which is the only thing my insurance provider covers.

But it covers the whole family, which is good in case the polio spreads.

Anyway, send in your damn entries. If you don't, I'll cut your funding and after school programs.

P.S. Here's a copy of the blurb I wrote for The Newspaper on Pawlenty. It took me about five seconds to write, so don't judge my journalistic ability on it. I circled the disturbing part. Apparently, Pawlenty doesn't really see the effects of his own budget cuts.

Wednesday Music Spotlight. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Yeah, I know. The album's been out since January, but I forgot about it, and it's good. It's funky and different. Listen to it. Now.
