A 66-year-old retiree, he says the country is "in a state of moral and financial decay" and that something must be done to increase workers' earnings.

Hard Candy has one called Porno and another called Navel. But for names that really scream grotesque, it's tough to beat Urban Decay, whose new fall colors for lips, eyes and nails include Rust, Gash, Gangrene, Vapor and Toxin. Surprisingly, no less a store than Nordstrom's has bought the line, which is selling best in its Mall of America store. Here's what the ghastly set is wearing...
