“Okay,” Juanita grins this morning over coffee and her newspaper, “here’s the news story of the day brought to you by the letters W, T, and F.”

“Texas Senator John Cornyn’s Dallas office gets what they deem a “suspicious package” and call the police.  The entire building is emptied and the bomb squad shows up,” she reports.

“Apparently,” she refers to the story, “it was a 14 inch long brown box, with an envelope and a return address on the front.  That alone is very suspicious because most of John Cornyn’s friends just send cash with a rubber band wrapped around it.”

“But,” she continues, “here’s the suspicious part.”

The box had a business-size envelope on the front and contained “miscellaneous cassette tapes and film,” [Deputy Police Chief Mark] Young said. He did not know what was on the tapes, but said the bomb-disposal crew deemed them no threat.

“I don’t know why they thought it was suspicious,” Young said.

The box and its contents were taken to a nearby vacant lot and blown up as a precaution, he said.

No arrests have been made, but Young said the envelope on the front of the box contained a return address and an investigation was ongoing.

“No threat but they blew it up anyway?”

“Honey, that is the suspicious part,” she says.  “Film and cassette tapes?  Was the return address Julian Assange?  That’s kinda odd, don’t ya think?”

“Nah,” replied Thelma.  “This is Texas.  We just love destroying things.  Nothing suspicious about that.”
