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.

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€
