Sirs-
I understand that The Huffington Post Investigative Fund is seeking to fill several editorial positions, and I'd like to be considered. I'm a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Vanity Fair, Skeptic, The Onion A.V. Club, National Lampoon, McSweeney's, and dozens of other publications. My first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny, was released in 2007 to praise from Alan Dershowitz of Harvard Law School, Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone, Cenk Uyger of Air America Radio, and Bob Cesca of your own publication, among other sources. I also serve as director of communications for Enlighten the Vote (formerly GAMPAC), on behalf of which I've appeared on Fox News and other media outlets, and have served as a professional blogger for outlets like Politicalbase.com. Additionally, one of my articles, Thomas Friedman's Five Worst Predictions, has been featured on The Huffington Post.
I've attached a resume; please take a look and let me know if you'd like to discuss this further.
