September 2, email to Mary Benanti, editor, El Paso Times

As always, a pleasure, I assure you.  Being Captain May is an education in psychology – ain’t it a drag?  Seems like human beings are just naturally timid, and you can’t imagine how much I am pleased when I meet a brave soul like you.  I think everyone should be a black belt like me.  It doesn’t prove you’re brave, ‘cause I don’t know what “brave” means (neither did Plato, by the by – it’s in the Laches).

Anyhow, I know the piece I sent you that the Crazy Chronicle wouldn’t publish was enjoyable, and thanks for all the compliments (a bit muffled, but I understand) that you paid the writing.  I try, believe me.  How about one edit from my side (and you can slice, dice or spice the rest of the piece at will).  I say twice in the first graph that I don’t like being Sybil, so can you prune the redundancy?

You’re right about needing another work or two to check a writer out.  Here is some stuff that the Clark campaign has gotten hold of (along with Dean and Kerry), about a couple of different actors in the war (and the mistakes the military and media made in coverage of them).  Enjoy.

Captain May.

PS:  Call me back if you want to know more about the Congressional Investigation I’ve got pending like a sword of Damocles over the Bush Team.  I’ll show the prez how one little olTexas Cavalryman can change a whole nation.  Am I showing you yet?
