“Maybe the optimism a month ago got a little too heated,” said Guy Berger, U.S. economist at RBS Securities Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut, who is among the best forecasters of retail sales over the past two years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “It’s a weak number but it follows some really strong ones and I don’t think it changes my general feeling on how the economy and consumers are doing.”

Rick Santorum, who famously rocked a sweater vest during the 2012 presidential race, might try a new look if he runs again in 2016, a Santorum source told Fox News. The source said the former Pennsylvania Republican senator has been getting some fashion tips for a potential 2016 run from one of his daughters with a keen fashion sense - and he may end up shedding his classic campaign attire.

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) said during his radio show on Wednesday evening that his social media post earlier in the day calling for Islamic terrorists to "behead the cowards at CNN, MSNBC" and other news outlets was "satire." Walsh was upset that numerous news outlets had refused to show cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad that were originally published by the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which was the target of a deadly terrorist attack last week. […] On his radio show, which is broadcast on radio stations WNYM in New York City and WIND in Chicago, the one-term congressman said he had been "exaggerating" and "using satire to make a point."

The Obama administration is putting a large dent in the U.S. embargo against Cuba as of Friday, significantly loosening restrictions on American trade and investment. The new rules also open up the communist island to greater American travel and allow U.S. citizens to start bringing home small amounts of Cuban cigars after more than a half-century ban. […] Only Congress can end the five-decade embargo. But the measures give permission for Americans to use credit cards in Cuba and U.S. companies to export telephone, computer and Internet technologies. Investments in some small business are permitted. General tourist travel is still prohibited, but Americans authorized to visit Cuba need no longer apply for special licenses.
