Disappointment in Terminals Creates ‘Terminal Illness’
This is my official surrender to the system, my white flag to man’s pursuit of air born mass transit. From now on, I will be a zombie in the TSA security line as much as the next person, I will pay $5 for that bottled water, and I will dress as though I have been [...]

MTV reality show Teen Mom 2 raising more drama than children
