The Last Decade in Less Than Seven Minutes
Believe it or not, we're about to start a new decade in less than two months. That means we can all get ready for the barrage of recaps about the last 10 years, which have truly seen a lot of strange and sad events. This has been a decade dominated by terrorism, wars, Terri Schiavo, Hurricane Katrina, and gay marriage bans.
Sponges, Chastity Belts and Douches, Oh My!

Do You Find the Cougar Concept Offensive?
Unless you live under a rock, you know that "cougar" is a term for an older woman who likes to "prey" on younger men. While it can be used in a derogatory way, some older women are reclaiming the term as a way to express their virility.
On the show The Cougar, a seemingly empowered 40-year-old Stacy has her pick of the litter of men half her age, who are all competing for her attention.
Lighten Up! President Obama Stars in The District!
Newsweek has outdone itself in the funny department by creating a faux-Obama reality show filled with voice-overs, stares, and close-ups — just like MTV's The City. The District will chronicle President Obama's first 100 days as reality TV.
Just like Whitney Port, President Obama has a new career to promote, but first he must learn the rules of his new hometown.
Lincoln and Darwin: More Alike Than You'd Might Think
Newsweek's cover story pits two men against each other that I have to confess, I'd never really considered in the same breath: Lincoln and Darwin. As next year marks the 200th birthdays (both were born on February 12, 1809) of both men whose independent ideas have have formed our modern world, Newsweek asks the tricky question, who was more important: Lincoln or Darwin? Are we more influenced by the man who preserved the concept of republican democracy or the man who brought forth the idea of evolution?
eHarmony Says Love Is Not For Liars or Gays?
The eHarmony dating site bills itself as the ultimate uniter, but a piece in Newsweek shows that the very practices that make it so successful — 236 eHarmony users marry every day — could get them sued.
The roots of the site have long been speculated about. It was founded by 72-year-old Christian self-help author Neil Clark Warren, who published several of his books under the imprint of Dobson's Focus on the Family, and then consummated that relationship when eHarmony started out by peddling eHarmony the service on Dobson's radio show.
Which Countries Are Greenest?
China is #1! They totally beat the USA! Though admittedly the honor is a tad dubious.
Quiz Nation! Who's the "Decider" — Or Just Talks Like One?
As a presidency evolves (or vice versa) sometimes language has to expand and make room for some novel terms that best explain the times. "Decider" is one such term (thank you George W. Bush) and don't forget Mr. "Lust in his Heart," Jimmy Carter.

Are Teens Growing Up Too Fast or Too Slowly?
When I first saw this headline on Newsweek, "Why Teenagers Are Growing Up So Slowly Today," I thought, whaaa? With all the sexting and drugs, aren't teens growing up too fast?
Just because teens are doing adult things doesn't mean they are acting like adults, argue Joseph Allen and Claudia Worrell Allen, authors of Escaping the Endless Adolescence.
Would a Female Politician Get Away With This?
On Saturday, Republican State Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts announced his candidacy for the US Senate, desiring to fill in the spot left open by Senator Edward Kennedy's passing. He is branding himself as a fiscal conservative and Washington outsider.
But as political blog Wonkette uncovered in 2007, Senator Brown had a nude centerfold spread in a 1982 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine when he was 22.
