Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Last week, we asked our readers to offer suggestions for a caption for the above photo we snapped of Governor Jan Brewer for this week’s New Times’ You Write the Caption contest.
Once again, you didn’t disappoint.
We had more than 50 responses in the comment section of the post, which you can see by clicking here.
We’ve narrowed it down to five finalists, but only one can win the grand prize: a pay-your-own-way trip to the historic New Times building, and a lukewarm glass of Phoenix’s municipal tap water.
The finalists are as follows:
A) Pitboss with “So, in conclusion, my main takeaway from this presentation is that
anybody–and I do mean ANYBODY–can become the Governor of a U.S. state.
You just have to know how to use the fear card. Any questions?”
B) FormerRepublican with “Thank you for coming. My name is Jan Brewer and I’m an alcoholic” (we got our hands on the arrest report. Read about Jan’s wild ride here).
C) Steve Tracy with “I sure as hell done did create new jobs and fix the budget…I got me a job that pays enough to fix my budget, and that’s a start, ain’t it?”
D) Maybe368 with “ask not what your country have did for you, but what you have did for your country,”
E) James King with “I couldn’t be more disappointed in Tommy Collins than I am right now.”
