Two married shooters with a six-month-old baby rushed a social service agency this week in San Bernardino, California. They killed 14 people and injured another 21. It's an all-too familiar scene, including the heartfelt prayers that followed.
Except for one thing: prayer typically brings people together, this time it drove us apart. Angry Democrats insisted on stricter gun laws to limit the carnage; Republicans called for others to pray for the victims.
The Pirelli tire company has produced an annual calendar since 1964, featuring mostly-nude photo's of supermodels that hang prominently in American gas stations and body shops. In a new twist this year, Annie Leibovitz photographed twelve women like Amy Schumer, highly-accomplished and not admired simply for their bodies.
The women of Pirelli are embracing nudity, but the men in locker rooms don't like it. They want gyms to buildnew locker rooms that allow them to change without exposing their bodies to other men.
