Three men walk into a microphone ...

Caption needed! UPDATE: Caption found 22

Henry Waxman, John Dingell, Ed MarkeyPhoto: AP
We couldn’t let this photo of U.S. Reps Henry Waxman, John Dingell, and Ed Markey go unremarked (unreMarkeyed?)—so, caption ideas needed!  Submit them below in comments. Funniest idea gets a priceless Virtual High Five.

UPDATE:  The winner of the Virtual High Five is ... hapa!

(With apologies to Eminem.)

Y’all act like you never seen a white person before
Jaws all on the floor like Lee Raymond just broke in the door
And started whoopin’ your ass worse than before
“This is just for the gas, pay me later for the war” (Ahh!)
It’s the revenge of the… “Ah, wait, no way, you’re kidding,
He didn’t just say what I think he did, did he?”
And Al Gore said… nothing you idiots!
Al Gore’s dead, he’s locked in my basement! (Ha-ha!)
Green young women love green young men
(chigga chigga chigga) “Hank Waxman, I’m sick of him
Look at him, walkin’ around grabbin’ his climate package
Oglin’ congressional pages, “Yeah, but he’s astute though!”
Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose
But no worse, than what’s goin’ on in your bankers’ HQ
Sometimes I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can’t
But it’s cool for lumps of coal to sing Christmas carols
Our bill is on ya lap, our names is on ya lips
And if we be lucky, you might just tell it like it is
In between the eye-scratching and flinging cups of piss
No big mystery people don’t know what “cap-and-trade” is
But they do know about the warming and the oil biz
By the time they hit fourth grade
They got the Discovery Channel don’t they?
“Humans are the meanest mammals…” Well, some of us cannibals
Who cut other people open like cantaloupes {*SLURP*}
But if all we do is cry over endangered antelopes
We’ll be just another paragraph in the history of dead dopes
But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
Women wave ya pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes

I’m Hank Waxman, and he’s Ed Markey
All you other wax Markeys are just imitating
So won’t the real green MC please stand up,
Please stand up, please stand up?

    Shortly thereafter, Waxman, Markey and Dingell were seen rollin' up on some of DC's hottest clubs in their tricked out hybrid; blasting bass, popping champagne, and dropping bills.

    3 Men and a Boondoggle?Hickam solar project will power hydrogen plant and fueling stationhttp://www.starbulletin.com/business/20090526_Hickam_solar_project_will_power_hydrogen_plant_and_fueling_station.htmlHickam Air Force Base has completed a $1.1 million
    solar array project that will now power its hydrogen plant and fueling
    station -- a first of its kind for the Air Force and Hawaii.
    The
    146-kilowatt system made up of 810 solar modules is enough to power
    about 30 standard homes. The solar photovoltaic system was gradually
    turned on Friday to fuel the base's hydrogen plant with the renewable
    energy.
    [...]The solar electric system will help power the base's fleet of seven
    hydrogen-powered vehicles, which include an electric passenger shuttle
    bus.
