I Believe In:
America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies with him. She stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was broken. Her jaw was shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life, my beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again. I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison, suspended sentence. Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool. And those two bastards, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone.

Mayors: No bottled water at meetings

No, you need to use potable water. In other words, water from the tap that may not taste good but is perfectly safe to drink. Brita and other household filters don't purify water.  (Monday Jun 23 | post #20)

Mayors: No bottled water at meetings

A Brita filter is a miracle of science. It makes my heavily chlorinated tap water taste better than bottled, since it doesn't have that plastic taste.  (Monday Jun 23 | post #4)
