I don’t especially like rice or beans but goddamn do I like rice and beans.

A mantra for anti-Trump congressional candidates in the midterm elections, courtesy of my extremely anti-Trump 8-year-old: “From the White House to the Big House.”
Dalton Rushing is an absolute prodigy of baseball villainy. In 100 career MLB games he has earned the type of league-wide contempt that AJ Pierzynski needed 10 years to develop. Hard to say where he'll go from here, but one thing's for sure: Someone's going to punch this guy in the face.
