Laughing Out Loud at Brass

Dear Editor,
    While visiting Washington “la-la land,” D.C., last week, I became rather homesick for Austin. Then I remembered that before I left, I stuffed the March 21 issue into my carry-on bag. I casually flipped through the Chronicle and ran across Kevin Brass' “'Statesman's 'World'” article [“Media Watch,” News]. What a clever writer he is. There I was in the capital Hilton in my bed, roaring out loud and bringing myself to tears reading this article. His "it takes some cojones to declare" statement sent me over the edge, and the next day I felt as if I had done about 300 sit-ups, I was hurting so bad!
    Please thank Kevin for putting down in written words what my wife and I have talked about ever since discovering that “Show World” was discontinued. Kevin, you made my stay there bearable, and we look forward to reading more of your articles.
