[The Northerner]

After two suspicious packages were delivered to Sen. John Cornyn's (R-Texas) offices in the Dallas area on Wednesday, local station CBS 11 reports that bomb squad technicians detonated the two devices.

According to the Texas-based outlet, the office space was evacuated after the mail arrived.

Shortly thereafter, CBS11 said that no explosive or incendiary materials were discovered in the packages.

2. I hope it's turns out to be nothing...

...NO member of congress should be terrorized or endangered!

4. Well, having lived in Texas and communicated with Cornyn, I find

it sort of funny. He is not a friend of the general public. It's likely someone mailed him some dog poop...that's what he deserves!
