Experienced Humorist/Business Writer

Sirs-

I understand that you're looking for staff writers to contribute to
TheStreet.com's new project, and I'd like to be considered. I've
written for a similarly humor-oriented financial program which aired
on Fox Business Channel and Yahoo Finance, as well as for TV performer
and World Bank project manager Sati Achath. My other work has appeared
in dozens of publications including industry pubs, public policy
journals, and humor outlets like National Lampoon, The Onion,
McSweeney's, and Jest, and my first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind
Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny, was
released last March to praise from Alan Dershowitz, Rolling Stone,
Skeptic, Air America Radio, The Huffington Post, and other outlets.
I've also served as a marketing copywriter for several real estate,
energy, and technology firms based in Texas, New York, Chicago, and
elsewhere.

I've pasted my resume below and attached it as a Word document (the
latter should be more pleasantly-formatted); please take a look and
let me know if you'd like to discuss this further.

Thanks,

Barrett Brown
