Hi, Colin-

Allison Kilkenny gave me your contact info a few days back, so I wanted to check in with you to introduce myself and see if The Huffington Post might be interested in a piece I've just written. I'm a Brooklyn-based freelancer and my work has appeared in Vanity Fair, Skeptic, The Onion A.V. Club, and dozens of other publications; one of my pieces for Vanity Fair was actually picked up by The Huffington Post back in March. I'm also the author of Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny.

I just completed an article about The Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen and his general shortcomings as a commentator; the piece was originally intended for Vanity Fair, but it turns out that he's a "friend of the magazine," so they can't run it. Let me know if you'd like to take a look at it or if you'd be interested in getting some other queries from me down the line.

Thanks,

Barrett Brown
