Deut. 9:17: "And I took the book, and cast it out of my two hands, and brake it before your eyes." Because it SUCKED!

Congratulations to Ken Deville, whose Charlton Heston/Moses photo wins the White Coat, Black Hat photo contest. Deville is a professor of bioethics himself, so I’m betting that Carl stole a couple of his ideas as well. He’ll be treated to his choice of the the 7 prizes we have on offer
.

Many thanks to everyone who participated. I was impressed, as always, at the outstanding number of talented Carl-haters out there.

As a coda, I would like to propose one more idea: A New Yorker-style caption competition. See if you can come up with a suitable caption for this photo, one that reflects some of Carl’s key attributes (talentlessness, sanctimony, plagiarism). I’ll get the ball rolling:

“Hey everybody, I wrote this puppy all by myself. That Burning Bush didn’t have shit to do with it!”

Your turn. Use the comments section below to give your suggestions (and this is just for fun, by the way. No prizes. What am I, made of money?)

Worse than Krampus

One more day left in our photo contest!  Get your entries in soon!  Today’s submission:

If you have been particularly unpleasant this year, beware:  This little turd may replace your annual lump of coal, your bag of hickory switches, or your journey with Krampus to the pits of hell.   And like a big lump of coal, it will burn brightly in your Christmas hearth.

Carl and Whoopi

I tried to scope out the placement of White Coat Black Hat at the Mall of America Barnes and Noble, but was advised by an employee there that not only was the book not in stock, but that it had never been published and does not exist. When I mentioned its review in the NYT, she advised me that the NYT is notorious for reviewing books that have not been released. Luckily, the good people at the B&N at Calhoun Village realize the book exists and that Carl and Whoopi Goldberg are asking the same big questions!

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent.

The contestant writes:

Forget Photoshop — after reading a bit of WCBH I entered the search term “wolfman masturbating” into Google Images, and immediately found this genuine photograph. Quite what it amounts to I cannot say, but what I can say is that it brings us closer to the real Carl Elliott.
Congratulations on your work in exposing this beast.

"Hello, Big Pharma greedheads. I would like to talk to you about the obscene amount of money you're making. For details, please purchase a copy of my book."

Submit. Conform. Obey.

"I, Carl Elliott, hereby confess that I plagiarized my book from the emails of my younger and more talented brother"
