Let’s marvel at the fact that Newsweek has a Pinterest board devoted to Rick Santorum’s sweater vests. “Sleeves slow him down.”
And this is why Newsweek wins at the internet.
Aw, shucks.

Anything that even hints at blaming Lara Logan for her attack, is unconscionable.
People can be utterly despicable. There are so many rape and sexual assault cases at the moment, it’s baffling.
Julian Assange—despite your feelings about his WikiLeaks work—is a disgusting human being if he did in fact rape two women. His defense relies on trying to diminish the definition of rape, which in and of itself is sickening (and leads me to believe he is guilty).
