Here are the winners:

FIRST PLACE, WINNER OF T-SHIRT:
"Damn, that hurt more than my first purple heart!" -CJ

The winner needs to contact me via e-mail with their address for me to send the shirt to. Please contact me before Sunday.

HERE WERE THE RUNNERS UP:

"Military misfires spitball, Kerry's stragetic weapon of choice. Zell Miller sends his regards" -kerryisanass

Moments after getting hit with a soccer ball, Kerry comes up with his new "Global Test" plan. -Bev4Bush

It would have been a travesty if I didn't make a caption contest out this. Damn that face is scary.

This is your final reminder to vote for "Blogs for Bush" in the Washington Post poll. The polls close at Noon EST this Friday.

Matt has provided a great service here and has never asked for money (something I told him to do when he had a shot at meeting and getting his photo with the Bush twins in Boston!). He is up against professional journalists like National Review Online (people we like but would like to beat in our ONE category -- they are nominated in NINE!).

Please take a few minutes out of you day and vote for "Blogs for Bush." It would be a great way to close out the election for someone who has given so much time (and his own money) towards providing a forum for grassroots supporters of the President to air their views and build a community around that support.

Last week we had a caption contest and as usual, a variety of factors led to a delay in posting the results.

I said last week there would be two winners, but after reviewing all the entries, I needed to give out another prize. First prize winner will receive a copy of "Reckless Disregard" by Robert Patterson, and two second place winners will receive an autographed copy of "Playing a Bad Lie" by John K.

Here are the winners:

FIRST PRIZE:
"John Kerry sees his own end on the campaign trail." -Faye

SECOND PRIZE:
"It's not so much a flip-flop as it is a summersault..." -NoDonks
and
"I insist, I've only had one position. One position." -naveen

There were lots of great entries, some of which we not eligible because they were made by unregistered commenters. Don't forget to register to be eligible to win in future contests.

The winners need to contact me via e-mail with their addresses to receive their prizes. Please contact me before Friday.

This was too funny to pass up. This is a real photo, and it is John Kerry.

Before the convention we had a caption contest, and unfortunately do to the craziness surrounding my departure to the convention and of course being there, I was unable to announce the winners.

So, without further delay, I give you the winners of our last caption contest, as chosen by the author of "Playing A Bad Lie," by John K.:

"But Mr. Kerry, I don't WANT it to be seared, seared in my memory!" -Brian B

"Mr. Kerry, when you said you would go down in the annals of history, I thought you meant something else!" -Jim Gerkin

***UPDATE: Caption Contest Submissions Are Closed - Winner Will Be Announced (Hopefully) By Midnight Saturday Night***

It's been a while since we've had a contest...

...So lets have one shall we... This time you can win a free autographed copy of "Playing A Bad Lie" by John K. No, not John Kerry...

"Playing A Bad Lie" is the story of a young boy and his father playing golf. The boy tells he father he thinks he wants to be a Democrat, and the father decides to teach him the ways of the Democrat party by playing their golf game by the rules of the party.

• Where errant shots are never your fault
  
• Where different rules apply to different players
  
• Where the better you play, the more you pay
  
• Where if you don't like your score, you can recount it again and again
  
• Where the only hazards are the people who try to play by the rules

This round of golf teaches a lot about how the Democrat party works and is a fun read!

Honorable Mentions:

"Its only this big and we all know its Bushs' fault!"
(Submitted by CJ)

"Americans are the dumbest people on earth. How do I know? Look at how they line up to pay to see my movies and buy my books."
(Submitted by Fly)

(Submitted by Miller's Time)

And The Winner Is:

"Award-wining film maker Michael Moore, discussing a scene from his next work, "Camelot Creamed," explains how George W. Bush simultaneously shot Kennedy from the Book Depository and the Grassy Knoll using just one bullet secretly manufactured by Texas oil interests mad at JFK for failing to nuke Cuba."
(Submitted by STLscott)

***UPDATE: Caption Contest Submissions Are Closed - Winner Will Be Announced (Hopefully) By Midnight Saturday Night***

If the truth hurts, this book is bound to give Michael Moore a lot of pain. "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man" written by David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke, reveals the truth about how Michael Moore manipulates facts and spins statistics.

The truth is shocking, yet equally important to get out there, because Michael Moore thinks he can influence the voters to kick George W. Bush out of the White House. The truth is so important, we want to offer Blogs For Bush readers a chance to win a free copy of "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man", whether it be for themselves, a friend, or a Moore-fan who needs to learn the truth.

Check out the image below of Michael Moore and post a comment with your caption. In order for your entry to be valid you must be a registered commenter.
