Lots of complaints, as usual, about how easy and lame the ScuttleButton puzzles have been lately. In fact, the only person to defend my puzzles as being gutsy and courageous was Bill Belichick.

And what better moment than to announce this week's ScuttleButton winner.

First, a reminder on how to play.

It's easy. Just check out my button puzzle each Friday. Take one word or one concept per button, add 'em up, and arrive at a familiar saying or a name. (Seriously: a saying that people from Earth might be remotely familiar with.) Submit your answer and hope you're the person chosen at random. That's it!

Oh wait. You MUST include your name and city/state to be eligible.

And also remember, the answer does not necessarily have to be political. For instance, the answer to a puzzle a while back was "Minnesota Twins" — not political at all, unless you're thinking Mondale and Humphrey instead of Killebrew and Oliva.

Here are last week's buttons, in case you forgot:

Let Me Make One Thing Perfectly Clear / I Am the President / David Frye — Frye was once a popular impersonator who often mimicked President Nixon.

Keep Dade Moving / Re-elect Burns Governor — Florida Gov. Haydon Burns, seeking a second term in 1966, lost the Democratic primary to Miami Mayor Robert King High.

Senator D Huddleston — America wants to know why I keep using the same Kentucky Senate button over and over again.

13 — It's just a number.

M T W Th / Boo — F Sa Su Yay! — A strange button evidently celebrating the weekend.

So, when you add Frye + Dade + D + 13 + Th, you might end up with ...

Friday the 13th. Which happened to be the date of last week's ScuttleButton puzzle. And, oh, my birthday.

This week's winner, chosen completely at random, is (drum roll) ... Dan Mitchell of Oakland, Calif.
