The Boston Globe runs a weekly cartoon caption contest for which I occasionally submit an entry. Here is this week's submission--and my caption--for your viewing pleasure:
Blame Canada

See: Smoke from Quebec moves into region, Boston.com, May 31, 2010.
Leave it to those pesky Canadians. Again. The last time they tried smoking us out of house and home was back in July of 2002. (See Unusual Haze the Result of Quebec Fires.) Well, they didn't succeed in '02 and it won't work this time, either.
We may be gagging and coughing with every breath we take, but, By God, we're New Englanders and we're a proud and stubborn lot. We won't be driven away from our beloved dirty waters of the Charles, or our Fenway Ball Park by people who can't decide whether they should be speaking English or French.
John Candy had the right idea--we should'a declared war on Canada when we had the chance. Say, does anyone have any of those leftover gas masks from the Iraq war?

Here's a new one for the Invent-a-caption gallery: a blonde's car. How do we know it's a blonde's car? Look at the car closely;-)

BP wants Twitter to shut down a fake BP account that is mocking the oil company. In response, Twitter wants BP to shut down the oil leak that's ruining the ocean."

Submitted by ptemples on Tue, 04/06/2010 - 18:01
VATICAN CITY Calling the behavior shameful, sinful, and much more frequent than the Vatican was comfortable with, Pope Benedict XVI vowed this week to bring the widespread pedophilia within the Roman Catholic Church down to a more manageable level.
