WONDER WOMAN REVAMPED

Wonder Woman is to undergo a complete revamp.

Leave it to a comic book icon to cause a flag-related stir as the 4th of July weekend approaches, everyone’s favorite 69-year-old Amazon, celebrated the 600th issue of her signature comic book with a whole new look that leaves the red, white, and blue behind. Feminists, or at least some of them, applaud long pants replacing hot pants. Conservatives, however, read more nefarious, even un-American impulses behind the alteration of the familiar figure. When Wonder Woman strikes the colors, is she striking back at America?

I think the older costume was hotter, though.

That's likely the PC police in action. Mustn't infest young minds(to them, comics are for children only) with sex. Violence is fine though.

VAPING IS SAFER THAN BREATHING

 The UK's new tax on vaping which will come into force in 2026 is not only immoral but patently insane, and will hit those reformed smok...
