Queen Nancy futzes around and worries about losing the "dignity of the job" along with her pay, if sequester happens. She should look at the polls, the public doesn't even trust Congress. What dignity is she talking about?

Queen Nancy futzes around with the Constitution (doesn’t know the Bill of Rights) and futzes with the future of our Republic.

No long weekend for me, but my daughter is off Monday.

I might be mixing up another batch of beer this weekend.

I believe the re-election of 0bama will prove to be a Futzian Bargain for his supporters.

Good morning.

Why do Republican leaders futz around
With that narcissistic Marxist clown
As our country goes broke
All the liberals think it a joke
Soon hubris will bring them all down.

Okay, going to the corner. Where's the thermos?

Mayor Bloomberg just acts like a putz
With every aspect of life he must futz
It’s completely uncanny
How he’s everyone’s nanny
Is he power-mad or just nucking futz?

Just bought Lisa Gardner’s latest book for my kindle. They are always set in Boston. It’s got me hooked, hope I can make it last the long weekend, but I doubt it. I feel compelled to read it straight through.

It was just above freezing again when I was in the woods just at sunrise-that was no deterrent to the doves-the trees were full of the cooing things-must be time for them to find a mate...

It is true that the tendency
To futz around on vacation
Is what the emperor does best
In spite of our frustration

That is not all bad, I say-
Certainly no cause for alarm
As long as he is at the beach
He can’t do near as much harm

No goodies will be given away
No matter how the masses whine-
Just a short respite from theft
And for most, that is just fine
