Weekend Caption Contest™ Winners (Wizbang)

This weeks Weekend Caption Contest™ generated many memorable captions. Judging was conducted in between session of inconsolable infant crying, so even a short humor respite was sincerely appreciated by the judge. Here are the winning entries for this picture:

3) (Laurence Simon) - "Michael Jackson prepares to film a new Pepsi commercial."

Honorable Mention

4) (Tom Blogical) - "Where's the KA-Boom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering KA-Boom!"

5) (Margo Demers) - "Using modern technology, wishful thinking and special rose-colored glasses, hundreds of liberals watch a re-broadcast of the 2000 election results. AlGore wins."

6) (Brian) - "This crowd required sunglasses to shield their eyes from the sheer brilliance of the Miers nomination."

The Shameless Suckup Award goes to bullwinkle for this entry:

Wizbang Blue: The Democratic View of Palin's Speech

This report pretty much echoes my own sentiment after watching Palin last night. She's a great little Teleprompter reader, and she reads the stand-up comedy one-liners fed to her by the McCain speech writing team like a champ, but other than her ability to smirk on cue there wasn't much to brag about in her speech - just 'more of the same' attack lines, interspersed with 'more of the same' applause lines.
