I'm probably going to get in trouble for writing this (Editor's Note: Stop now, don't proceed!). But I can't figure out why women posts shots of their feet on Facebook. Today, Cindy Facebooks her new red dancing sandals. I've never had the inclination to post a photo of my Size 10 feet on Facebook or anywhere else. And they look decen for man feet.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says Donald Trump’s blowout victory in Tuesday’s New York primary makes him the presumptive Republican presidential nominee that the party should unite behind. “Every analysis of the next few weeks indicates Trump’s margin will widen and he will move steadily closer to 1237.” Gingrich wrote in an op-ed.

I love a mystery, esp. in politics. So I was hooked when Turns to the East threw his hat into the ring to run as a Democrat for the House District 4A seat now held by state Rep.
