Republicans are having a tough time deciding which is the harder pill to swallow...

They tried to find funny things and pictures about Obama and went insane trying even to find any irony.

Others have thought they had something with the joke about Obama putting "rims" on Air Force One, but that didn't fly. Some thought they had an opening with him liking ladies with beefcake butts, but Michele's being beautiful, brilliant and ripped otherwise tripped that notion up.

We're going to have to settle for jokes about the White House dog. How about, "It's always a security scene when Bo comes inside especially with his friends: When they frisk them and order them to stay in line, the dogs always resist and roll over."

The Caption Contest editors are obviously on a world tour, getting accolades for their sometimes cryptic and not immediately apparent but always brilliant selection of pictures and winning captions!

Any news what happened or what will happen to this section?
Did they fire the moderators? Sent them to Gitmo or a Russian gulag?
HuffPost decided that the readers don't deserve comedy?

The brains of the two Huffpost Caption Contest Editors have been removed from their skulls and preserved in two commemorative souveniers (thus the stoppage of caption contest editing activity). One has the image of President Obama artfully presented on it, with the USA (United Snakes of Americat). And the other has the image of some russian guy that no one seems to recognize, with a garbled spelling of Pinocchio annotated on it. Rah, Rah, USA, Pinocchio and Huffpost Caption Contest!

HuffPost Customer Complaints Manager, Ivan A Newjob, offers disgruntled contest caption readers a complimentary nesting doll. "These nesting dolls are a metaphor for how a new caption contest will emerge from the old one", says Newjob. Will this offering be enough to retain loyal readers? Stay tuned..... or don't.... nothing to see here.... move along....

Thank you. I'll probably check it out. I'm a fan of the one in The New Yorker though. :)

However, this is about the principle. Why did HuffPost eliminate this feature without any notice and closure?

Thanks for the tip. New Yorker contest is good, too. HuffPost says they are just "re-tooling." See y'all later.

And for the Caption Contest proletariate like me it's like being stranded in Moscow before 1989 -- no hope to win anything but just a smile from a Russian dissident turned seller!
