Hi, John-

I wanted to check and see if you might be interested in taking a look at a
few excerpts from my upcoming second book, *Hot, Fat, and
Clouded<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982139144/ref=s9_simi_gw_s0_p14_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Z0RYG59CYBZAVNP0E6T&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846>
*, which concerns the manner in which our nation's most respected columnists
- Thomas Friedman, Charles Krauthammer, and Richard Cohen, for instance -
have gained and maintained their positions of prominence despite having made
all sorts of failed predictions, contradicted themselves on rather important
issues, and otherwise contributed to the general public misunderstanding.

I'm a regular contributor to *Vanity Fair*, *The Huffington Post*, *Skeptic*,
and *True/Slant*, and my other work has appeared in dozens of additional
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 and Matt Taibbi of *Rolling Stone
*, among other swell folks.

Please get back to me if you'd like to see a selection of excerpts for
potential publication.

Thanks,
