The New Yorker Caption Contest

Serving up some red meat for readers of The New Yorker, this week's caption contest - entries due September 9 - should be a doozy.

Paul Noth ~ The New Yorker


Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is on the other side of the world in China during the Democratic National Convention. Bill, on the other hand, will be center stage on Tuesday night, in Biden's slot. Maybe Obama will dump "the smile with a body behind it" after all? Either way, there's little affection between these Presidents according to this New Yorker article, Let's Be Friends:
"Tim Russert told me that, according to his sources, Bill Clinton, in an effort to secure an endorsement for Hillary from Ted Kennedy, said to Kennedy, 'A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.' "
September  18 postscript:
