Lasers are no longer only found in campy science-fiction movies or on dry-erase boards during school lectures. Lasers can be used to enhance your appearance. (Not trying to say you need it, beautiful.) Generally, we try to look good for one another. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, there’s only a short number […]

For the modest
The machines use advanced imaging technology (AIT), which shoots out a harmless electromagnetic wave that works to detect dangerous things like weapons and explosives. Pending no “anomaly,” the screen will give the OK for non-threatening passengers to make their way to the plane. This new technology introduces a PG version of the 3-D body scans […]

The wizard of gore
And a bathing beauty losing her legs to said serial killer. Not to mention the scalping of a sandy beach babe.

Like his liberal union/Democrat buddies, he mourns the demise of collective bargaining in Wisconsin and soon in Oklahoma. His credibility is seen sadly lacking when he says, “conservatives have waged war on the American worker through union busting.” Pardon me, Kurt, but it was Jimmy Carter who got rid of collective bargaining nationally, not conservatives!
