There's only one thing more exciting than the inauguration of a new president, and that's the announcement of a new ScuttleButton winner. I'm sure you will agree.

There's no mystery in how to be inaugurated as president. You simply need to win a majority of the electoral votes at stake on Election Day.

But being the ScuttleButton winner is much different.

First, you have to solve the rebus. You need to take one word or one concept per button to arrive at a saying or a name.

The buttons from last week, in case you forgot:

Caricature of a man's head on a chicken's body — this is actually former Texas Gov. Bill Clements (R). If memory serves, he either threw a rubber chicken at his 1978 Democratic opponent, John Hill, at a dinner, or somebody threw it at him. Whatever. At least there was a button commemorating the event.

Ed Koch for Governor — the mayor of New York City sought the Democratic nomination for governor of New York in 1982, but he lost the primary to Mario Cuomo.

A — a button from the Anarchist Party. I got this from an Anarchist book store in Manhattan in the early '70s.

Photo button of Margaret Thatcher — the former British prime minister.

Anyway, when you add Chicken + Koch + A + Tory (Thatcher's political party), you get ...

Chicken Cacciatore!

The winner, selected at random among the correct responders, is (drum roll) ... Tom Unzicker of Hillsboro, Ore.

Congratulations Tom! You have executed the button puzzle faithfully.
