Mike-

Yeah, but looking over the material I've got here thus far, I'm actually starting to think this wouldn't work as well as I was thinking it would and probably wouldn't be quite right for VF anyway (in case you're curious, the amusing thing about the ads in general is that they're very blatantly geared towards the gullible and tend to make use of the really bad sort of Eisenhower-era sort of ad copywriting that you don't often see anywhere else these days, but now I'm not sure that this would translate well into an article).

I'll query you again when I think of something that might work better.


Thanks,

Howdy, Mike-

Just wanted to check and see if you received my e-mail from Sunday about me perhaps doing an article on National Review and how its ridiculous ads would seem to reflect on the sort of people who still read National Review. Let me know when you get a moment.
