...robotized glamour-pop. What set her apart were her siren vocals, and the lyrics those vocals would belt out—lyrics crafted by a fledgling English speaker, peculiar and sometimes puzzling. She is still thankfully in ownership of these gifts, singing lines like “Why wait for later? / I’m not a waiter” and using words like “lycanthropy” (destined to be among the most-searched definitions on Google this month). But the album is mostly uninspired and frenetically overproduced. Shakira manages just barely to keep afloat over...

This pleasure-cruise, a disco boat for all-night dancing hosted by a funny Colombian in a belly shirt, goes under on such songs as “Why Wait.” It opens excitingly enough, with five counts of electronic pulsing reminiscent of the beginning to Kelis’s “Milkshake,” but quickly grows tiresome. The faux-Arabian exotica to which the singer is so devoted as a reminder of her Lebanese heritage explains its expected appearance here, but adds little.

...automatically be enrolled in the new retirement system. The only way to opt out would be to show that you already have a retirement plan in place. And workers would be eligible for the retirement system on their first day of work, unlike today, where many companies make people wait a year until they can participate in their 401(k) plan. There would be an individual contribution and company match. Together those contributions would equal somewhere between 10% to 14% of a worker's pay. Our research shows that at that level of savings, you put away enough to generate...

...Wait, for serious? That’s a pretty startling fact in its own right. But this poster also works because that picture is downright terrifying. It’s like staring straight into your awkward junior high years and not being able to look away. Good thing you got yourself together in high school and became a suave, sophisticated, acne-free Harvardian...
