Weekend Caption Contest™ Winners (Wizbang)

This week's Weekend Caption Contest™ featured a picture you just don't see every day. Try as I might I really couldn't argue with the entries readers voted as the most popular. This weeks winners follow the voting fairly closely, with one more added as a "best of the rest" winner. The assignment this week was to caption the following picture:

Seward Johnson's sculpture 'The Awakening' is driven on a truck from East Potomac Park in Washington to its new home at the National Harbor in Prince George's County, Maryland, February 20, 2008. The aluminum sculpture includes five cast elements and is more than 70 feet across. REUTERS/Larry Downing (UNITED STATES)

Here are the winning entries:

1) (fustian) - "Another voter accidentally gazed upon Hillary's new snake hairdo."

2) (Faith+1) - "Authorities were set to question Ms Liberty after the remains of her former spouse were exhumed and foul play was suspected."

3) (Jeff Blogworthy) - "The Colossus of Roads"

4) (Proof) - "Replacement parts for candidate Hillary had to be trucked in after heavy damage was taken in last night's debate!"

5) (rodney dill) - "Two Argonauts and A Truck moving service."

6) (retired military) - "After losing the democratic nomination for President, Hillary decided to take her statue down outside the DNC and go home."

The Editors Choice For Best Of The Rest Award goes to:

(jbw) - "Sadness today, as even statues have falling on hard times thanks to the Bush recession, back to you Katie."

That's all for this week. A new edition of the Wizbang Weekend Caption Contest™ will debut Friday morning.
