Croatia lays claim in the Guinness World Records to the world’s largest jeans. If only they were white denim, Croatia would be even more “FASHION,” as my little cousin likes to say.
Former Pennsylvania Republican Senator Rick Santorum fancies himself to be Dr. Love! No Broadway show and dinner for Barack and Michelle Obama because it sets a bad precedent for African-American families for reasons that are not quite clear to me. “I think he has to realize that flying to New York is…self-indulgent,” Santorum told Fox News. “Go down to the corner bar and have a drink, a shot and a beer.
