A photograph from the billionairesโ€™ Kochtopus summit in Rancho Mirage this weekend shows a very concerned looking David and Julia Koch witnessing the 1000+ protestors gathered on the street for the โ€œUncloaking the Kochsโ€ rally.ย  David and Julia peer down at the masses from their safe rooftop perch.

The Other 98% is running a caption contest for the photo on their Facebook page, and the photo made the rounds on Twitter earlier today as well.

David and Julia Koch

What photo caption ideas do you have?ย 

Here are a couple Iโ€™ve heard from friends:
โ€œSo thatโ€™s what real grassroots looks like?โ€
โ€œWeโ€™re not in Kansas anymore.โ€
โ€œPardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?โ€
โ€œHoney, do you remember when I was booed at the Nutcracker ballet? That was nothing compared toย this.โ€
