How this works: Each Wednesday we'll publish an Alaska-themed political cartoon that's begging for a caption. Drawings appear in Wednesday's Opinion section and Tuesday evening online at adn.com.
Your mission: Supply a fitting punch line via the Web page at adn.com/opinion. Just follow the Name That 'Toon link in the online opinion section. Deadline for captions is 4 p.m. Friday following each new drawing's publication. Daily News cartoonist Peter Dunlap-Shohl will select three captions to feature in Sunday's paper along with comments on the captions that will appear on Sunday on the Name that 'toon Web Page. (Sorry, Daily News employees and relations, you're ineligible.)

GEORGIA BROWN looked at this week's cartoon, and saw... nothing. And, thinking outside of the balloon, she got creative and made something out of nothing. Instead of inserting dialog, she came up with a caption that made blank balloons part of the idea.
If brevity is the soul of wit, this is the wittiest Name That 'Toon yet.
The rest is silence.

Forget about it, Jake. D.C. isn't what it used to be. A congressman can't even hide a lousy earmark under his hat anymore.
