Dear Mr. Brown,
 
As it seems rather de rigour to write trite letters to the editor of Skeptic extolling the intellectual stimulation I felt for your review of "The Secret History of the World; As Laid Down by the Secret Societies", I find my self writing to you directly instead.
 
I really liked your review of "The Secret History of the World: As Laid Down by the Secret Societies" in SKEPTIC magazine this month.  There.... 'neuf said.
 
I practically snorted my tzatziki and crumbled my falafel at lunch today while trying to hold back the outright laughter at your run-on sentence in the middle of the second column of the article.  I then had to stifle another food destruction moment when you made the referral to Hephaestion as another possible reference to the Lamp of Osiris.  Now, what would Carrie Prejean have had to say about that?  She might have actually won.
 
And you have now challenged me to come up with a contradiction to Mother Goose actually being Isis.  I gots nothin' at the moment either, but just wait....
 
Now you have made me want to buy the damn book!  Thanks a pile.
 
Greg Midkiff
