The assembly elections in Karnataka is just what the editor ordered for sub-editors. With a canvas populated by a scowling B.S. Yediyurappa, a spiffy S.M. Krishna, the earthy H.D. Deve Gowda—and assorted characters like Dharam Singh, Mallikarjuna Kharge, Ananth Kumar and the Reddys who appear to have all tumbled out of some comic book—it is a perfect paathashala for caption and headline writers to show their imagination and creativity.
But why let them have all the fun?
How would you — yes, you — caption this excellent picture shot yesterday, 28 April 2008?

Is it an idol? Is it a statue? Is it a mannequin?
One leg in the chair, two eyes on the chair
Yedi, steady, go: all the gods must be crazy

Wigs Can Fly: A harried SM Krishna tries to keep the wig in its place as shutter bugs click away even as a staff of SMK is all anticipation of a catch of his life just in case the wig decides to desert the boss.
