Budget buffoonery

Today I feel like playing a game.
I walked into a Northville Township budget study session last night (a few minutes late, as usual) to hear Township Supervisor Mark Abbo finish off a sentence: “…all this buffoonery in Lansing.”
The words ‘Buffoonery’ and ‘Lansing’ came up often during that three hour study session.
Here’s the game: submit your own sentence either beginning with or ending with ‘all this buffoonery in Lansing.’
I’ll get things started, on a serious note: We have to stay vigilant to protect ourselves from all this buffoonery in Lansing.
Or a more light-hearted take: All this buffoonery in Lansing has me checking out the housing and job market back in Oregon.
On a semantic note, there technically is no buffoonery going on in our capital. A buffoon is someone who is always trying to be funny, or joking around. I don’t think are legislators are trying to act like buffoons. They just can’t help it.
