Bad news: President-elect Barack Obama says the recession is not going away anytime soon.
Good news: We have a winner for the last ScuttleButton puzzle!
You'll be forgiven if you can't remember. It was back in December of 2008. The rebus consisted of three buttons; your job was to take one word or one concept per button to arrive at a saying or a name.
The buttons:
Mary Louise Foust for Governor — she was a 1963 Democratic hopeful in Kentucky.
Run Chris Run — Chris Spirou was the Democratic nominee for governor of New Hampshire in 1984.
What a MESS / McGovern Eagleton Sargent Shriver — a button mocking the 1972 Democratic presidential ticket(s).
The answer: Merry Christmas! (Mary ... Chris ... Mess)
The winner, selected at random among the correct responders, is (drum roll) ... Chris Collins of East Greenbush, N.Y.
A new puzzle appears tomorrow. Note: People at NPR who had an early look either got it immediately or couldn't solve it at all. Good luck!
