Steevo strikes again! Keep it going, but look in rearview!

Repeat after me: It is not a "bus driver shortage". We are actually "saving energy and the planet with fewer routes".

Some good captions this week; lots of clever people out there. Just a couple of points, though.
1) Rove hasn't lost the whole generation of Republicans, just the ones to the right of Hillary Clinton and the left of Ann Coulter.
2) Is WHO warning "Steevo" to watch out for talented new caption writers or right-wingers out for blood?

To Randy, This is all in fun...the former.

Steve's caption is really good, but Laura's actually made me laugh.
