Congratulations to Eleanor Kennedy who won this week’s cartoon caption contest. Ms. Kennedy’s entry, "Are you going to tell the kids, or am I?" was sent in by, well, her kid. Kathleen Kennedy emailed the entry to us, letting us know that she was submitting it on behalf of her 82-year-old mom, Eleanor. Among the best of the also-rans, in a contest with heavier-than-normal turnout, were these: From Mike Pizzuto of Wichita, came "It says ‘This page intentionally left blank.’ " Carolyn Schmidt sent "Maybe a million monkeys ona million typewriters should be given a shot at this…" Grant Vance from Wichita submitted "Sorry, guys, but we’ll have to find another state to hold our family reunion in!" From Jay York of Wichita came "Calm down, Grandpa; it’s just a theory." Kathy Deane’s caption was "Well, fellas, according to this, it’s unclear where you came from, but I think you’ll still be able to run for office!"
Wichitan Michael Cate sent "Is it Intelligent Design’ or just more monkey business?" Retired biology teacher from Medicine Lodge, Karry England, had this to say: "I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore, Bozo!" From Wichita, Shane Rasco sent "Thank God you guys haven’t evolved enough to comprehend the unintelligent design of Kansas law." John Pilla’s caption was "The flatter-than-a-pancake standard has replaced you guys." Gerard Rodriguez said "I don’t care how impeccable your credentials are, Corkins has the job!" From Karen Wallace of Wichita: "Ah, my paid consultants have arrived."
