Caption Contest: Anthony Weiner on a Citi Bike
I don't care if this is a carefully choreographed photo op. For one day, at least, we're not going to run a picture of the Weinermobile in a post about Anthony Weiner. We're just going to link back to the most recent post with a Weinermobile picture. And we're going to turn this into a caption contest.

I don’t care if this is a carefully choreographed photo op. For one day, at least, we’re not going to run a picture of the Weinermobile in a post about Anthony Weiner. We’re just going to link back to the most recent post with a Weinermobile picture. And we’re going to turn this into a caption contest.
I think this might be the first caption contest we’ve run with the Disqus up-voting system enabled in the comments. We have no prizes to give away this time, just bragging rights. So… captions, anyone?
