John Cornyn

There is some great news coming from Texas, where two polls show that Afghanistan Veteran, Rick Noriega, is well within striking distance of Senator John Cornyn.

A recent Rasmussen Poll finds that Cornyn now only leads by four points - 47-43. Now, before you dismiss it as just one...

Despite all of that, Senator Craig has brazenly defied his party...

The US Senate will make linguistics history today. Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell actually brought to the floor a bill based on a linguistic trope called "metonymy." The bill also makes history by trying to censure an ad. But the most "damning" part of the censure is not what...
