Jeb Bush’s super PAC, Right to Rise, has outspent every single one of its competitors with nearly $50 million going to ads—a fact that’s particularly depressing when you consider the ad you see above.

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio wore some cute boots yesterday. Once New York Times reporter Michael Barbaro tweeted out a photo of them, both political and fashion journalists had questions. How high are those heels? (Two inches, easily.) Where did he get them? (The campaign has yet to say.) Do they come in my size? (I personally want to know.) And—cutting to the real issue at hand—how tall is Marco Rubio anyway?

Attention, men: It is time to start thinking about your fall look. What kind of look do you want this fall? Which scenario do you identify with most?

As the New York Times reported this week, one fortuitous result of the relentless battering of icy precipitation on New York City is a favorable uptick in boot sales. Several vendors around the city have reported to being knee-high in profits, but strapped for future customers as in-store availability becomes barely ankle deep.

Over the weekend, the New York Times managed to track down the homeless recipient of NYPD officer Lawrence DePrimo's kindness, and found out he was still walking around barefoot.

It was 35 degrees outside the night 25-year-old NYPD officer Lawrence "Larry" DePrimo bought a pair of $100 Sketchers boots and some socks for a homeless man on the corner of 44th and Broadway.
