Last week, we asked our readers to offer suggestions for a caption for the above photo of Senate President (for now) Russell Pearce and his white supremacist pal J.T. Ready for New Times’ You Write the Caption contest.
Once again, you didn’t disappoint.
We had nearly 70 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.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
The finalists are as follows:
A) Mistalee with “‘When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag & carrying a Bible.’ – Sinclair Lewis.”

C) JTKurtz with “I love the smell of racism in the morning. That smell, nothing else smells like that. It smells like………. victory.”
