Mary Lucia’s dog, Smudge, is perfect for a poster with the appropriate caption. And it’s become a News Cut tradition — two makes it a tradition — to hold the caption contest summarizing the various campaigns.
A favorite from two years ago:
“Why can’t I vote? All those dogs in Chicago can…”
The rules are simple. Make us laugh.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
