Show/Hide This Week's ScuttleButton Answer
Observe National Police Week (pic of a pig in a police uniform) Vote Newton-Seale — Black Panthers Huey Newton (Congress 7th CD) and Bobby Seale (Assembly 17th District) ran on the Peace and Freedom Party banner in California in 1968.
I’m for Sinner/You Know Where He Stands — George Sinner, a North Dakota Democrat, ran for Congress in 1964 and lost to Republican Mark Andrews. Twenty years later he was elected governor.
Blanket-In/July ’68 — Does anyone know who this is and what it’s from? I don’t.
So, when you combine Pig + Sinner + Blanket, you kinda get …
Pigs In a Blanket. That delicious (for some) hors d’oeuvre often served at weddings and parties.
And the randomly selected winner is … Dave Jordahl of Appleton, Wis. Dave wins the coveted Political Junkie button.
