I’ve featured Dana Nessel in 12 of my past diaries, especially back when she first ran for attorney general. In this one from December 2017 I included a video of a great campaign ad she was running then, and I like it so much that I’m going to include it again today. (But click the link for the diary if you’d like to read a little more about Dana Nessel and see a few classic pictures of Noble Fur.)

All right, now it’s time to look at the completed answer grids for last week’s puzzles. Here are the clues for last week’s first puzzle:
1. poem
2. brought food to the table
3. are entitled to 4. one who eats
5. precipitated
6. small fish 7. not the same
8. chair of royalty
9. flying insects 10. what 9 might do to you if they don’t like what you're doing
11. baseball team or football team
12. making fun of 13. special family meal served on certain religious occasions
14. person who puts something in the mail
15. thin
And here is the answer grid. There were 5 rows, with 3 answers per row:
verse D served E deserve diner A rained S sardine other N throne S hornets sting A giants E teasing seder N sender L lenders
Each word in a row has all the letters of the previous word plus one new letter. For instance, SERVED has all the letters of VERSE, plus an added-on D, and DESERVE has all the letters of SERVED plus an added-on E. The add-on letters get placed in columns between the answer words, and when the grid is completed they spell out DANAN ESSEL. Put a space in the right place and that reads Dana Nessel.
“Oh, I see how that works.”
All right, if last week’s first puzzle is clear, here are the clues and grid for last week’s second puzzle.
1. Be quiet!
2. possessive pronoun
3. what you might call something you're pointing at 4. British thank you
5. keyboard key
8. something to wag 7. famous princess

9. rear 10. often follows do
11. listener
12. region 13. exists
14. do something bad
15. go down 16. occupational title

The first add-on letters column spells out ILHANOMAR, and the second add-on letters column spells out TINAKOTEK. Properly capitalized and space, those read Ilhan Omar and Tina Kotek.
“I think I see a new puzzle just ahead.”
Yes, the desert sand cat is seeing correctly. Here are the clues for today’s puzzle.
Just one puzzle this week, rather than two, but once again there are three Candidates Worth Supporting featured because I included all three in a single puzzle. Which means there are four answers per row this week (rather than the more usual three answers per row). And as a helpful hint in solving the puzzle, the words in each row are 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters long.
1. kind of rummy
2. search engine
3. aptly named streaming service
4. famous large clock 5. friend
6. kind of deal or bargain
7. propel a bicycle
8. jumped 9. anger
10. brown, fried, or Spanish
11. apple juice
12. kind of card 13. social insect
14. isn't able
15. The ___ __ The Hat
16. lawsuit 17. 60-min. periods
18. hasty
19. let a friend have what you've got
20. on land 21. before
22. alcoholic drink
23. aquatic bird (see picture below)
24. creator of Howard (the duck)
No, I’m not Howard, I’m who’s being referred to in clue #23.
25. followers of Q
26. graphic or liberal
27. look at intensely
28. gets on a soapbox 29. agency that goes after dealers

44. puzzle
And that’s the puzzle for today. I hope you have fun solving it! If you have any difficulty just leave a comment and I or someone else can provide some help.
And now that you have the answers from last week and the new puzzle for this week, it must be just about time to move on to today’s poll question. But first let’s take a moment to look at last week’s poll question and answers…
Last week I posted an image and asked, “What does this image say to you?” Here’s the image:
No the .
If I had voted in the poll I think my choice would have been the final option listed:
Everyone should google for information about "period" so that people trying to find out who's googling for that information will have a surplus of data to sift through.
There are some bad-hearted people out there who intend to track and see who’s searching online for information about late periods and other things which could indicate a person who needs and is considering getting an abortion, and who these people want to locate and punish. So the more people who search for information about periods (and for information about medicinal abortions and about places which still perform abortions), the harder it will be for people trying to make life difficult for abortion-seekers to do that.
Most men have never had a period, so it makes sense for men to look for information about not having a period. Many women no longer have periods because they’re on the pill or because they’ve gone through menopause, which means they don’t need to have any worries about why they’re not having periods when they fill out period-tracking applications on whether they’ve had a period recently. Just think of it as a gift to those anti-abortion folks; they want to know who’s not having period or who’s seeking information about abortion, so we can make it easy for them to compile massively huge lists to pore through.
But Poll Cat tells me that’s not the intended answer to the poll!
Poll Cat says I’m wrong!
According to Poll Cat, the image shows the letters No directly northeast of the letters the , which appear directly above a period ( . ) That means the answer Poll Cat had in mind when they submitted last week’s poll was option # 9 on the list:
No ne of the above.
Hmmm. I think maybe I should provide the poll question this week instead of letting Poll Cat do it. So here’s this week’s poll question:
Which Candidates Worth Supporting will be featured in next week's puzzle?
