Ventura a National Treasure

RECEIVED Tue., Jan. 6, 2004

Hooray! I just relocated my favorite writer as a result of reading a recent issue of L.A. Weekly. Michael Ventura is a genius who deftly integrates so much of his overall intelligence and experience whenever he writes that I am truly in awe whenever I read whatever he writes!
   Now that's a convoluted sentence that says how I feel and what I believe. L.A. lost this national treasure to Austin when the L.A. Weekly lost Michael!
   Whatever you have to do to put me on a list to receive your online publication, do it. The Austin Chronicle is already on my "favorite" list and I'm a happy camper.
   Not much comes out of Texas that is good for individuals or the American public, but wisdom from Michael is a true exception! My best to The Austin Chronicle and to Michael. Michael has broad life experience that can only help those who read his words. Even and most importantly Texans! Michael Ventura should be required reading for George W. Bush, who could have one of his handlers do the reading for him and make it easily understood!
All the best,
