Vox Nova Caption Contest
October 16, 2008
I guess the obvious would be “must have the precious…..my precious…..”. Anyway, go for it! Prizes include a lecture in modern continental philosophy from Policraticus, a starring role in Henry’s next video, a copy Michael’s “Handbook of Catholic Anarchism”, an Alaskan moose hunting trip with RCM, or 200 extra-special Obama posts from me!

You’re all class, Morning’s Minion.
At least you’ve given up the facade of intelligent gadfly, in favor of this. it is much more honest of you to display your petty and shallow small-mindedness.
Of course, I won’t be voting for either one of those walking disasters. But then, I’m not wedded to some modern or post-modern ideology and nicknaming my spouse “catholicism”.
Look at me. This was my face, whenever I ws tortured as a POW.
Really? That’s humour? Wisecracks about torture? Just goes to show there’s not a millimeter of difference between a dedicated Democrat and a dedicated Republican.
Both traded their humanity for, well, something.
You stay classy, Vox-Nova!
Hahahahahaha I love the prizes!
“Gabba Gabba Hey!”

Franklin,
McCain exploited (used his) POW status (as an excuse) for everyhthing these past 2 months. I thus have no qualms with what I said.
Advice: Get a life!
I don’t have a caption, but when I look at McCain, in my head I hear Chubby Checker singing, “Let’s twist again like we did last summer! Let’s twist again like we did last year!”
Another example of irony the next time a “Republicath” is accused of self-parody, hackery, ect. ect. ect.
Now that’s an awesome display of charity at work, Mark. of course you have no qualms with what you said. He is the other, and so you are not bound be evangelical counsels.
If that is what you call a life, I’ll stick with what I have.
Franklin,
Look at how you started this thread.
“The next time Obama’s invisible ninja punches me in the stomach, I’m leaking it to the press!”
This caption contest was actually posted first at the Times Online website.
The irony of a McCain supporter actually crying about the casting of HIS candidate as the ‘other’…
Which country do you live in, Franklin?
Yuck! I hate it when I get that cumin aftertaste 4 hours later! Ugh!
Mark, I live in the United States.
Did a McCain supporter make the same objection I did? Shocking!!! I missed that.
I wouldn’t vote for either party’s war-mongering pro-death candidate, as I am trying to take my Faith’s teachings seriously.
“I am a Vampire!”
“In their defense, the Republican delegates insisted that at the time they had no idea that Senator McCain was a flesh-eating zombie…”
This is a great picture. I am sure we all have moments where we don’t look our best, luckily for us, with politicians there are people there to capture the image and provide us all with much needed comic relief! Great prizes too, I am sure the 200 Obama posts would be super extra special :)
I have to say the torture caption was a low-blow, poor taste etc. Mark from your prior comments you don’t seem like a mean person, it is just the election season putting everybody in a lousy mood, I am sure. The nicest people I know, Democrats and Republicans, have all been waking up mad at the world lately. I am sure looking back you will regret this. Unfortunately I too have said many unkind things recently. It will be great when all of this is over.
“Here’s what a baby looks like after it survives an abortion attempt Senator Obama. It’s in pain – maybe you could find it in your heart to provide some medication.”
got healthcare?
Magdalena,
What you say is true. I fell into tremendously poor taste.
Joking about torture is now just poor taste? I need to offer an apology to some republican classmates then.
I still say it is a disgusting betrayal of your humanity. Not an inch of difference between the major parties. Always ready to excuse their own bad behaviour and villify those evil villians on the other side.
DAMN!!! I FORGOT TO WEAR MY “FLAG LAPEL PIN” TONITE. THAT’S GONNA HURT MY NUMBERS IN OKLAHOMA.
“Must. . . destroy. . .liberalism. . . RAAAAARGH!!!”
Franklin, are you equally disgusted with Knuckle Dragger’s abortion comment? Or are jokes about “american heroes” in another category altogether?
In a last attempt to “win” the debate on the way off stage, Senator
PalpatineMcCain makes a pathetic, failed attempt to blast Obama with his Dark Jedi lightning.Franklin, are you equally disgusted with Knuckle Dragger’s abortion comment?
They’re not remotely equivalent; they’re actually quite opposite, in fact. Making fun of Obama for his love of abortion is akin to making fun not of people who experienced torture, but of the torturers themselves.
“We hates its, nasty thieving Obamases, it’s ours, it’s ours…..”
Michael Joseph,
In the wise words of Cyndi Lauper, “I see your true colors shining through, I see your true colors…”
Q: Who should I vote for in ’08?
A: McCAAAAAAAAAIN!

Quick!… the Rolaids, my obamanitis is acting up again.
I’D SLEEP BETTER TONITE IF I COULD TASER THIS LITTLE JERK. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. LIKE THIS . . . . !
LINDSEY! JOE! BRING ME THE TASER!
Caption
Yuk!!! I hate it when I have to eat my own words!!!
I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THIS JOE-THE-TAXAVOIDING-NOT-REALLY-A-PLUMBER PLUMBER GIMMICK WE CAME UP WITH FOR THE DEBATE TONITE. NOBODY WILL EVER SUSPECT HE WAS IN THE TANK FOR ME ALL ALONG. THIS WILL FIRE UP THE BASE AND GET THE REST OF THEM OFF THE FENCE IN A HURRY.
YO CINDY, START MEASURING THE DRAPES!
BTW–WILL SOMEONE REMIND ME NEVER TO EAT SPAGHETTI CARBONERA AGAIN—EVER!
Michael,
It may be disgusting, but, unfortunately, it’s reality.
Actually, I make it a practise not to read comments from commenters with psuedonyms like “knuckledragger”.
Now having gone back to read his comment, I simply must concur with S.B.
The difference is glaring to anyone who has not sold their soul one of the various death-cults.
Oh, and who are you quoting above, Micheal?
I never called him an American hero. He’s certainly not Admiral Stockdale.
Although Obama has heaped just such praise upon McCain.
“Actually, I make it a practise not to read comments from commenters with psuedonyms like “knuckledragger”.”
Don’t read the Bible then. Or many great documents of church history. While I don’t agree with much which is said by knuckledragger, one thing I do find wrong: ad hominems based upon the fact someone is using a name other than their own.
What ad hominem? You do know what ad hominem means, don’t you?
There are only so many hours in a day. I have a family, and an education, and a career to attend to. Unlike some, I can’t spend umpteen hours a day perusing the bowels of the internet. There have to be some heuristics to separate the wheat from the chaff on blogs, and not reading comments by psuedonyms, especially psuedonyms like knuckledragger, is one I have found useful. Now you may argue that I miss some gems in the process (an argument you have already undermined), but that argument is not the same as ad hominem.
I don’t reject his statements because I disapprove of his name, I completely miss his statements because I filter past them.
Man, for some preening intellects, some of you Vox-Novans prove yourself incapable of getting through freshman year at a state University.
Franklin
More ad hominems from you.
McCain: “Reading Christians on Vox Nova during election season makes me want to hur……”
“Liberalism. . . Baaaaad!”
If only McCain recognised the evils lurking in liberalism. He’s certainly the more recognisably liberal of the two candidates.
