Caption contest!

By TigerHawk at 9/20/2007 02:35:00 PM

I am traveling today, so blogging is and will continue to be catch as catch can. What better time for a caption contest?

The "official" caption reads:

Three thousand Indian tribal chiefs in one of the world's wettest regions have invited ex-US vice president Al Gore to pick up an award for creating awareness about climate change.

While that is, admittedly, a pretty hilarious caption to begin with, I find it hard to believe that our readers can't do better.

You may think I put on weight, but I only did it to protect myself against global warming, or at least the consequences of my paying a city a visit to warn about global warming.

Because I like you, I'll only charge $2,000 a piece for the honor of my presence.

I really deserve two awards--one for global warming, and one for global wetting.

In his most recent effort to deflect attention away from the girth of his carbon footprint, some would say his girth in general, former Vice President Al Gore announced Wednesday that the dangers of global warming require all members of society to sacrifice for the common good, and as a gesture of his sincerity and his desire to lead by example, Mr. Gore announced also that from now on he will not fly on private jets with more than two engines. Said Mr. Gore, "Two are enough, one on each side of the plane."

Former Vice President Gore is seen teaching people how to prepare for a warmer climate by ordering two more beers.

And former veep AL GORE is using the roman numeral for five to indicate how high he wants us to pay for gasoline to pay for this big fat carbon footprints

Responding to internal pressures, Mr. Gore points out that this is the second Tigerhawk contest in a month and reminds us that we're still awaiting the results of the first one. "With climate change killing hundreds of innocent polar bears every day," said Mr. Gore, "the time to act is now. Americans expect results, and Tigerhawk is failing them." When asked if he might pursue congressional action, Mr. Gore replied, "It's possible."

BWA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

I am glad to see my readers are not the only ones who know how to use a snark cannon.

I think this is the clear winner, Tigerhawk. Don't let him dodge his responsibility, folks. If he continues to hide behind the demands of his "so-called job", only a Blogospheric Commission of Inquiry can resolve our lingering questions as to whether TH (like General Pace) has committed dereliction of duty.

Surely there's a tell-all expose from a disaffected insider in this somewhere... Cardinal Park? Charlottesvillian?

Ok - Cassandra, I think you're right.

But -- I also have a non-partisan and forward looking caption that even runs against the grain of my support for the current President. See what you think.

"You saw what 2 Bushes did for us, do you really want a second Clinton?"

By Cassandra, at Sun Sep 23, 07:30:00 AM:

Oh, I like that one too!
