Erasing Inequality Caption Contest
This amused me.
You have to admit it's kind of a comical picture. If you're a newcomer to VC, you may not be familiar with my tiresome rules. Please stay away from anything that is mean on a personal level. Political jabs are OK - I just don't want to see some of the ugly stuff Laura Bush was subjected to.

Caption Contest Results
In an effort to eradicate the ever growing list of caption contests the Princess has not gotten around to judging, she presents this omnibus post. Part of the reason she hates judging contests is that it takes *&^^ forever to format results posts the way she likes them to be formatted.
For that reason, this post won't be done the usual way. It just takes too long to look up and embed all the photos, so you'll just have to click on the links to see the original post.
So, with no further ado, the results:
Littlest Angel? Caption Contest:
1. rodney dill: The years have not been kind to Janet Reno
2. Deb: "Just call me angel of the morning (ANGEL) just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby."3. spr rdr (whoever that is :p): It slowly dawned on Moose that perhaps St. Peter had misunderstood his comment about wanting to join "Hell's Angels."
1. Rodney Dill: Neither is a freeway, but the left road is a Tollway.
2. obloodyhell: You know your candidacy is in trouble when even the state highway departments start editorializing...
1. Frodo: This is my church, here is the steeple open it up and I give hope to the people.
2. MathMom: Obama stifles a grin as he listens to advice from his Dad in Heaven, thinking, "Doesn't He know that I am the Obamessiah? I don't have to take this."
3. annlee: Al Gore would've killed for this much alphaness.
It's Bathing Suit Season! Caption Contest

The 'Let Them Eat Grapes' Caption Contest - Updated
I know, I know....scary stuff happening in the world these days. The Blog Princess has thrown a set of keys into the Dark Side of the Corner (with nary a nick on her perkily painted digits, nonetheless) and this:
CWCID:Baltimore Sun
And, in keeping with the Blog Princess' own suggestion: "Whoever wins, I'll make a donation to Soldier's Angels in your name, OK?"
So, have it at. Here's the first thing that came to my mind (well, the first printable thing, anyway....heh):
"After a long and extensive search, the Mardi Gras King Selection Committee narrowed their search by only including actors who had previously played spandex-clad superheroes. Once having done that, there was really only one obvious choice. Said King Kilmer upon being notified of his selection, "It's good to be da King!"
Update -- Results!
Yes, I know it took two weeks to get these up, but I believe I'm still ahead of a certain slave driver Blog Princess in the Contests Judged category.
heh
So, without further ado.....
1st place - Our own loveable afe with his spew-worthy entry: "Greetings peasants and lower classes! I am your Hollywood royalty! Let my dingleberries spew upon thee!"
For his entry, Soldier's Angels received a $50 donation. Thanks for everyone who played, and for those who gave their eyesight due to our shortage of brain-bleach. I can assure you that a resupply requistion form was immediately dispatched via Mongo-mail. I expect to receive confirmation of my order any day now......

Something Different Contest Results
Yeah, I know. I thought I'd shock you all senseless. Plus I'm psyched because my Thanksgiving dishes showed up early. All 5 boxes of them....
And the weiners are:
#1 with a bullet: BillT: "You thought ACORNs became *oak trees*? Bwa-hahahahah-haaaaa!"
And bringing up the rear: Bill Clinton and Sally Struthers (he can come out of the closet if he wants to :p)
You know, when it's green and has teeth, not even I would touch it with a 10 foot pole.- Bill Clinton
Every day, tens of Americans wake up with the overwhelming desire to put on giant balloon costumes. Won't you please help them. For just the cost of a massively overblown and mismanaged government program a day you too can help provide the psychotropic medication these people so desperately need.
Only you can help make other people donate to this worthy cause this election day by voting for Barack Obama. Please, don't let these unfortunate souls continue to be the basis for internet caption contests. Do it today!
- Sally Struthers
Congrats to the Weiners and thanks to everyone who played! I tell ya, it was almost worth judging one of these things to get Sly offin' my back.
Heh :)

The Obama Salute Caption Contest
via bthun:
What genius thought of this?
It strikes the Blog Princess that in a campaign in which one candidate has bragged that his supporters see him as a blank slate upon which his followers can write their secret hop and both sides have been reading all sorts of subliminal messages into each others campaign ads:
An Internet ad launched last week by the McCain presidential campaign has attracted more than one million hits by appearing to mock Barack Obama for presenting himself as a kind of prophetic figure.The ad has also generated criticism from Democrats and religious scholars who see a hidden message linking Sen. Obama to the apocalyptic Biblical figure of the antichrist.
The spot, called "The One," opens with the line: "It shall be known that in 2008 the world will be blessed." Images follow of Moses parting the Red Sea and Sen. Obama telling a crowd, "We are the change we've been waiting for."
Brian Rogers, a spokesman for John McCain's campaign, said the spot reflects only that Sen. Obama sometimes "gets carried away" when he speaks, and points out "his many audacious statements."
"It's a light-hearted ad that pokes fun at him," Mr. Rogers said.
The Obama campaign declined to comment. Earlier this summer, when asked about similar concerns circulating in Appalachian Ohio, David Wilhelm, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said the Obama campaign has no option but to confront voters' concerns head on.
The End Times, a New Testament reference to the period surrounding the return of Christ, were popularized in recent years by the "Left Behind" series of books that sold more than 63 million copies. The Rev. Tim LaHaye, co-author of the series, said in an interview that he recognized allusions to his work in the ad but comparisons between Sen. Obama and the antichrist are incorrect.
"The antichrist isn't going to be an American, so it can't possibly be Obama. The Bible makes it clear he will be from an obscure place, like Romania," the 82-year-old author said.
Critiques of the ad started surfacing earlier this week when Eric Sapp, a Democratic operative, circulated the first of two memos pointing out images that he believed linked Sen. Obama to the antichrist.
"Short of 666, they used every single symbol of the antichrist in this ad," said Mr. Sapp, who advises Democrats on reaching out to faith communities. "There are way too many things to just be coincidence."
Well alrighty then. We know that when we saw Moses in that ad, we knew immediately it was meant to be taken literally. After all, there is nothing over the top about Charlton Heston's performance.
Nothing. At any rate, since the Obama camp seem to be reading whatever they please into McCain ads of late, we invite the Half Vast Readership to do the same with the Obama Salute.
Keep it clean, people. And Beth C, you have been warned :p

Cult Of Obama Caption Contest
I'm sorry but this is too funny to pass up:
It was early 1994 when Nelson Mandela gave a speech in a slum outside Cape Town and spoke in grand terms of a new beginning and how when he was elected president every household would have a washing machine.People took him literally. A few months later he became South Africa’s first black president. That’s when clerks in department stores in Cape Town had to turn people away demanding their free washer and dryer.
Having spent some time as a reporter in South Africa watching the Mandela presidency I was reminded of that story this week when I travelled with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on the campaign trail. ...
How does a cult figure, in the eyes of some something akin to a messiah, make the transition to a political frontrunner – president even – where disappointment will soon crush what seemed to be a journey to a promised land?
Just remember:
"We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
- Obama, Super Tuesday.
The future begins here, tomorrow. Today. Or words to that effect.
