It’s ScuttleButton Time! – 5/18/15

Spoiler alert:  In the final episode of “Mad Men,” there is no reference at all to ScuttleButton puzzles or the delight that some people get in solving them week after week.  I’m probably going to stop watching.

Show/Hide This Week's ScuttleButton Answer

J C photo Jimmy Carter) Can Save America — Elected president in 1976.

No More Years — An anti-Nixon button during the Watergate scandal, in response to the Nixon campaign’s “Four More Years” slogan from 1972.

Boll Weevil (with the flag of Texas) — Referring to conservative Democrats in the Lone Star State, circa 1970s-’80s.

So, when you combine C + No + Weevil, you kinda get …

See No Evil.  Part of the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” trilogy.  Or, alternatively, the title of a song by “Television.”

Either way, the randomly-selected winner is Barbara Jones of Royal Oak, Mich.  Barbara gets the coveted Political Junkie button.
