* We had a bit of fun with my refusal to cut my hair or trim my beard yesterday. In response, my old buddy Jak Tichenor sent me a photo from the latest “Illinois Lawmakers” program I did with him. And since we’ve had caption contests on just about everybody else in politics, I thought it was probably only fair to do it to myself. I have a strong feeling that I’m gonna regret this, but whatever…

Caption?

Among the top prospects is the Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller. The upshot: “Rich just has that special look,” said a GEICO source. “It blew everybody away. While our previous spokespeople required hours of makeup and costume work, Rich just needs a quick shower and some cheap conditioner.” The backshot: Miller, who publishes the venerable Capitol Fax, a must-read for state political insiders, is reportedly seriously considering the deal. “I never thought I would want to leave my post covering state politics,” quoth Miller. “But I am frankly sick of this mess and am ready to move up in the TV world.

This is the guy? - CircularFiringSquad - Tuesday, May 25, 10 @ 12:39 pm: Tea Party Messiah Ahead in Polls The country operates largely on a two-party system and, because of this, fringe groups are forced to fold into either the Republican or Democratic Party. Republicans, who are hoping to win back seats in the House and Senate during the 2010 midterm elections this coming November, have widely embraced the Tea Party, an activist group that is fighting out-of-control government spending. But there’s one Tea Party-backed candidate who frightens them, and his name is Tim D’Annunzio(pictured above). D’Annunzio, ahead in the North Carolina polls, might have the support of the Tea Party, but he could very well hurt the already-tarnished image of the Republican Party should he win a seat at the table. “In Hoke County divorce records, his wife said in 1995 that D’Annunzio had claimed to be the Messiah, had traveled to New Jersey to raise his stepfather from the dead, believed God would drop a 1,000-mile high pyramid as the New Jerusalem on Greenland and found the Ark of the Covenant in Arizona,” the Associated Press reported. Not much of that, it seems, will gain widespread acceptance. In addition, D’Annunzio smokes marijuana daily, according to a doctor’s evaluation, and has been trated for heroin dependence in the past. Oh, and he doesn’t pay child support. “Mr. D’Annunzio has disqualified himself by his background, his record and his behavior,” Tom Fetzer, North Carolina’s Republican Party chairman, told the Associated Press. - Anonymous - Tuesday, May 25, 10 @ 12:48 pm: Who’s your stylist?
