Home! Just got back from the airport, the book tour behind me. Except for Friday’s grand finally, here in the Greater Seattle Area.

Since the blog has been a bit sparse this week, here’s a morsel of Wordplay Wednesday that occurred to me on the plane.

  1. Take the full name of an iconic TV character–who has, if memory serves, an orange sofa.
  2. Add the letter ‘M’ to the front of the character’s name to get another iconically orange object.
  3. Now add the letter ‘E’ and anagram the whole shebang to get the full name of a former world leader–one who shares the same religious persuasion as the TV character, by the way.

Who are they?
