comment ideals of a noetherian ring $R$ Cohen-Macaulay as $R-$modules
You will at least need to look outside of the polynomial ring. No ideals are Cohen-Macaulay as $k[x_1,...,x_n]$ modules by Boij-S\"oderberg decomposition.

Consider $R=k[x,y]/(xy)$. Then R is just the vector space spanned by $(1,x,x^2,...,y,y^2,...)$ because any mixed terms of $xy$ will be eliminated. Thus we can calculate the annihilator by considering products of things in this basis. $x^i*y^j=0$ where as all other products just give a power of a variable. Hence the annihilators are proven. We note that $(x)$ and $(y)$ are the minimal primes. Then $(x) \subset (x,y) \subset R$ is a maximal chain of primes so the dimension is 1.

comment Secondary Polytope Simplicial?
I apologize for the confusion. The secondary polytope of an n-gon is the associahedron, which is simple not simplicial. By duality I can always study the dual simplicial polytope in this situation. My question should be rephrased as "Is the secondary polytope always either simple or simplicial?"
