REBEL WITH A CONGRESS More fun episodes in the Ventura administration. DAY 37: Ventura sends a lunch invitation to the Rolling Stones, due to appear in Minneapolis on the 15th. He later expresses particular admiration for the endurance of famed partyer Keith Richards: "It's remarkable that [he] may see 90."
DAY 39: Jesse sends a cease-and-desist letter to a nonprofit greeting-card company run by a secretary at the state capitol. She created Valentine's Day cards depicting him in heart-themed wrestling garb.
DAY 40: A local radio station asks Ventura at the last minute to sub for its regular host. Luckily, he has a window. "You still have to worry about swearing," he says.
