Please clap: Arguing that Sen. Ted Cruz is the best candidate to take on Donald Trump, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Wednesday endorsed the Texan.
Assessing the value of the Bush endorsement, political analysts likened it to a dollar-off coupon on a Personal Pan Pizza at Pizza Hut.
Happy hour: A truck carrying Busch beer collided with a truck loaded with Frito Lay chips on a Florida freeway Wednesday, spilling brew and chips on the roadway.
Police closed the highway while a spill response team from Florida State University’s fraternity row cleaned up the mess, using straws.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1765, Britain enacted a law requiring American colonists to provide temporary housing to British soldiers. This was one of the grievances that led to the Declaration of Independence.
But America might have remained part of the British empire had the redcoat guests not eaten everything in the colonists’ larders and left such a mess in their outhouses.
