I’ve been on an anagram kick lately, so I thought I’d try something different this morning.<\/p>\n

There are two Thursday Morning Riddles this week. The riddles are anagrams of each other.<\/p>\n

While incumbent, I one in one hundred remain;
\nStates elect me to allocate funds I’ll sustain;
\nI look trustworthy, work’s can-do, let me explain;
\nI thumped beatable foes, held the latest campaign.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who am I? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shift around the letters, and it becomes:<\/p>\n

I’m that act when enlisted men seem to rebel;
\nAim to mutinies, or if when captured you tell;
\nThat pained book, as Ann Coulter’s expecting, should sell;
\nLike that infamous Benedict Arnold as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who am I? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The answers, of course, will be anagrams of each other as well.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
