   Inspired by a special White House screening of the X-Men sequel, President Bush invokes his psychic powers of remote viewing to reveal the secret location of Iraq’s WMD to a amazed Washington press corpse.

   Helen Thomas may be dead, but I meant to type press corps, damn it.

    PRESIDENT BUSH CONCENTRATES ON HIS OWN PERSONAL TOP TEN

    “OK, then 10 is ‘Don’t Mess with Texas’”
    “Then 9 is ‘Michael Moore falls on Maureen Dowd.’”
    “Let’s see that makes the next 2 easy.”
    “Number 8 ‘Michael Moore falls on bin Laden or that Rodham gal if bin Laden’s already Texas toast’”
    “Number 7 ‘Michael Moore falls on Saddam’”
    “That guy has plenty enough cheek to go around”
    “OK, then 6 is ‘Don’t Mess with Texas’”
    “Wait a minute I think I already used that one, better throw it in again for good measure, heh”.
    “Number 5 is ‘That Axis of Evil thing really takes off’”
    “Number 4 is ‘I get to do the landing the next time on the aircraft carrier’”
    “OK, then they start to get really good from here on in.
    “Three is ‘The NYT proclaims President Bush the best strategury president ever!’”
    “Two is ‘Nuther tax cut for the rich’”
    “This next one’s the best, heh”
    “Numero Uno, ‘President Bush, Commissioner of Baseball.’”
    “”
    “Oops I forgot to add that Michael Moore is attacked by a nest of them there vicious wiener dogs, Dammit, that makes eleven or twelve.”

    4 entries, Rodney?

    I think the first one should be free, and subsequent attempts should require a contribution to the tip jar.

    ‘Course, I think James should be giving prizes, too. Nice ones. Cars.

    Heh. I’ll tell you what, Kate: Starting tonight, I’ll take all the profits from the tip jar, discounting only for my hosting costs, and spend half of it on prizes.

    Try as he might, President Bush is unable to levitate Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham. Because he’s a fat fucker.

    I’m thinking that, if I keep working at this caption contest thing, I’ can expect the first in a series of McDonalds Finding Nemo Happy Meal Toys.

    Kate,
    Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. I usually average 3-4 entries on a good picture, not that I’ve had a great amount of success zeroing in on James’ sense of humor.

    PS Thanks for the car James, that was a great prize for the Armstrong caption.
