About Me
I'm the author of Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny; my second book, Hot, Fat & Clouded: The Amazing and Amusing Failures of America’s Chattering Class (Being a Partial Record of the Incompetence of Our Republic's Mainstream Pundits, Most of Whom Deserve to be Exiled or at Least Have Their Cars Vandalized), will be released in 2010. I'm a contributor to Vanity Fair, The Huffington Post, Skeptic, and The Onion, and my work has appeared in dozens of other publications and outlets. I also serve as director of communications for Enlighten the Vote, a political action committee dedicated to the advancement of the Establishment Clause.

Why True/Slant
They probably won't be collapsing under the weight of an archaic business model and amoral journalistic practices, unlike a few newspapers I could name.

My Secret Ambition
To seize control of a small African nation and turn it into some sort of experimental super-state governed under a futuristic system of democratic technocracy, but with a permanent role for myself. I imagine that this would all be funded with illicit diamonds.
