Cesspool Quotations
London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.

Garrett Hardin
We are angry about paying the highest income taxes and property taxes in the nation and getting less and less for it.

We are angry about the cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interests and self-dealing that is Albany.
Carl Paladino
