"Steve thought for a while he wanted to be sheriff. But after talking to him and explaining that I'm on top and want to stay on top, he fully understood and even though he doesn't want to be known as the Under sheriff, that's where he belongs and he knows it. Right, Steve?"

Congratulations to the New Times reader known as A Cunning Linguist, you've won this week's New Times You Write the Caption contest.

We picked the five best captions, and put those up for a popular vote.

On Friday, we asked readers to write the caption for the above photo of Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu -- who dropped his congressional bid earlier this week to run for sheriff again -- and his Chief Deputy Steve Henry, whom Babeu pushed out of his own bid for sheriff.

After sifting through all the responses -- as usual, some of them more politically correct than others -- we've narrowed it down to five finalists.

Only one person will win the pay-your-own-way trip to the historic New Times building, along with a firm handshake and/or high-five, and deciding that winner is up to you.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu's dropped his congressional bid earlier this week to run for sheriff again, pushing his Chief Deputy, Steve Henry, out of his bid for sheriff.

This must have been a real awkward conversation Babeu decided (in his own best interests) he had to have with Henry, with Babeu explaining why the loyal Henry had to drop out of the running for the office of sheriff.

For this, we salute Babeu and Henry with an appearance in this week's New Times You Write the Caption contest.

Governor Jan Brewer was in Washington this week to defend the controversial immigration law known as SB 1070 -- or as Brewer called it, a trip to "defend our state against President Obama, Eric Holder and the Justice Department."

Brewer's been taking full advantage of 1070's date with the Supreme Court, as she met with an orange man House Speaker John Boehner, solicited $10.70 donations to her political-action committee, and used several opportunities to remind everyone how awful she believes President Obama is.

For this, we salute the governor with an appearance in this week's New Times You Write the Caption contest -- without her pointing her finger at anything.

Stephen Lemons

Former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas held a press conference on Wednesday to complain about the decision by an Arizona Supreme Court disciplinary panel to strip him of his license to practice law.

The Feathered Bastard Stephen Lemons was there, as Thomas compared himself to Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and acted as if he had no idea why the panel decided Thomas and his comrades were attempting prosecutions in the name of politics.

With Thomas' grumpy face on, there's no better picture to use this week for another edition of the New Times You Write the Caption contest.
