It’s increasingly difficult to have fun with this stuff in light of what’s going on in the world … and here at home. But I guess if we couldn’t smile, what would be the point of it all? That’s why there’s ScuttleButton.
How to Play
ScuttleButton, as you may know, is that weekly waste-of-time exercise where we post a vertical sequence of campaign buttons. Your job is to take one word (or concept) per button and add ’em up to arrive at a famous name or familiar expression. Guess the correct phrase and you could be the proud winner of the coveted Political Junkie button!

Show/Hide This Week's ScuttleButton Answer photo button of PLO leader Yasser Arafat on Palestinian flag — He led the PLO until his death in November 2004. That’s Entertainment — A decidedly non-political button. My God is Alive … Sorry About Yours — A conservative response to the “God is Dead” movement, circa mid to late 1960s. Don’t Call Me Honey, Baby, Lady or Girl/Call Me Governor — Feminist button of the 1980s. So, when you combine Yasser + That’s + My + Baby, you kinda get … Yes Sir, That’s My Baby. A song from 1925 (and a movie from 1949). And no sir, I don’t mean maybe. The randomly-selected winner is … Rob McAuley of Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Rob wins the coveted Political Junkie button.
