Shouldn't we send them anti-missile defense systems that actually work?
While they are Islamists, Turkey is still an ally.

Hang your laundry in the front yard in Great Neck and it will be dirty anyway, knowhatimsayin? Can I get a high five? Anyone?

But village officials say it was becoming a problem, and next they’ll take up another growing problem – living room couches on front porches.
Christ on a bike, is no simple pleasure safe?

Well, in many parts of Northern and Eastern Europe hanging laundry in sight (either in front yards or balconies) has been illegal for years. Can't imagine it being banned in Italy though. :)
-
Most likely, a village council member, or a relative of one, has a neighbor who annoys them with their yard laundry and porch couch.

There really should have been a 0th amendment - Mind Your Own Damn Business.

Technically, that's what the 9th Amendment is for.
Not that anybody in government pays attention to the 9th Amendment.

The what?
-
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down.
It's what the government does to people.
