Everyday we post a picture – and you provide the caption. Our staff will get in on the action too.
Tune in every night at 10p ET to see if you are our favorite! Can you Beat 360°?
Here is the 'Beat 360°' pic of the day: Its a 4-in-1 contest!!! Unheard of!
Here we see US president George W. Bush plays basketball with members of the PeacePlayers international Basketball Group at Loughview integrated primary school, as he ends his visit to Belfast, Northern Ireland. (PeacePlayers International-Northern Ireland (PPI-NI) uses the game of basketball to address sectarianism and foster mutual respect and tolerance by enabling Catholic and Protestant children ages 10-14 to play the game together. Basketball, unlike traditional sports in Northern Ireland, is not affiliated with either community.)
Have fun with it.
Make sure to include your name, city, state (or country) so we can post your comment.

The Washington Generals
are McCain favorite team!
Kobe warned me not to show my skills
There's always someone setting me up to look stupid in front of the camera . I think you've been doing that to me for eight years . Sometimes we just never get it .
George Bush has slam dunked America, leaving Michelle Obama very unproad of the country.
Your asking me that in front of this child ? O course I've never cheated ,. Dick , Rummy and Fudd have alway's done that for me .
Pic 1: let me get this straight, you use basketball to address sectarianism and foster mutual respect and tolerance….hum .. I am going to speak to Condie and have a bunch of these basketballs sent to Palestinians….
Pic 2: …you know this is exactly what I am looking for…. Peace by January 19th 2009……my legacy …..
Pic 3: ….darn I am good ……. And I didn’t even need Karl Rove …..
Pic 4: ….wait do they have basketball courts in Gaza???……..
George Bush might be an unpopular president, but, in Northern Ireland, you bet he won the hearts of the children as he showed off his basketball skills.
Security who let this kid in here ? I told you we can't trust anyone , she could have a bomb hidden in that ball .
Hoping to stay in D.C. past '09, President Bush attends tryouts for the Washington Generals.
President Bush was unexpectedly surprised to learn many Irish citizens love the game of basketball.
This ball's been tampered with . Im not playing .
OK next year when Obama takes my place , I want to see you hound him in front of the little ones.
"I'm so positive the Irish will change their mind not to reject the treaty seeking EU reforms as sure as I can balance this ball on one finger...heh, just like how well I can balance the budget."
Well you can see why they don't call him Richard . Can I have a do over? that little girl blocked my throw .
These days it's "all I can do" to keep one ball in the air!

"So Cheney, you want to shoot this off the top of my head??".
"No, not the kid, Dick, not the kid!!".
Mr. BUSH can't play basketball as WELL as ME!!!!
Well I don't know any tricks I've played them all out. But have you ever see me down a Rum and fudd .
Elizabeth is the only one that support's everything I do,and you even make her look like an idiot . This little girl is no Elizabeth, I feel no emptiness in her .
What? Where's the holes? I thought we were going bowling.
or
What do ya' mean, I have the wrong shoes on?
You understand of course, Texas is a football state.
Great White Chief can't jump.
I've tried everything to help my image before I leave office. Maybe have a small sentence devoted to me in the history books,bu you never give me a break . Unless im choking on a pretzel .
He's got the whole world in his hands....
Ellen, Columbus, Oh
And once again we are reminded why the Washington Generals have such a spectacular losing streak.
These images show Bush intentionally teaching kids how to play basket ball poorly, while at the same time betting money on their opponent.
Well Mr. President, I hope your game strategy is more effective than your foreign policy strategy!

Doesn't anyone ever listen to me? I said get me a pauly girl not a little irish girl .
Try though he might, Dubya cannot locate Texas on the globe.
He's Got Game........................Unfortunately Its Cheerleading!
How complicated can this basketball-thing be? Cab't be hard if a girl is playing--can't be harder bthan pretending to be president, can it?
With no teleprompter to read, George Bush uses a basketball to explain how his theory of world domination went all wrong.
Bush gets beat by girl
GEORGE DEMONSTRATES HIS BOWLING PROWESS.

"Thank you for joining me, Wolf Blitzer, here in the Situation Room. O.K, Mr. President – so you're directly responsible for millions of deaths. But...how's your lay-up coming along, sir?"
GEORGE FALLS FOR IRISH BLARNEY. HE THINKS HE'S TESTING AN IRISH MELON FOR FRESHNESS.

"This just in to CNN News: The Iraq 'war' has just resulted in another 5,000 deaths today. But according to our 'impartial' reporting here at CNN News – your most trusted name in news – our lovely President, George W. Bush, has just learned to play basketball! So, only 5,000 people died? Hey, let's go over and get some weather....!"
Achieving peace, is like playing basketball. It takes strategery.
Remember, there's no "me" in "team". No, wait, there's no "I" in "win". No, wait...
Now I gave myself a headache again.
Ok little girl, see if you can do any better.
Heh, heh, Look at me – I’m “keepin’ my eye on the ball”.
Now I remember why I never do that – it gives me a headache!
See ya'll hold it like this and then to create a lot of spin, bring it up here and then....dang....I dropped the ball again!! Do you think she saw that?
Cool moves huh??? This is why you should elect 3rd Bush term...
"Its my world, and I want it back now!"
Hoops, I did it again!

I made an offer to the Lakers that he could have me for Kobe Bryant last summer, but he didn't take it. Just think, they could be up on the Celtics now if they had brought me on!
"Yeah, I got mad skills on the basketball court. Little girl is going down...or not"
curious george puts on a suit and learns to play basketball.
"Geez, I'm not good at anything!"
Pres. Bush suddenly realizes that when George Tenet spoke of a slam dunk, he meant peace in Ireland, not Iraqi WMD.
