My book has been nominated for the STEPHEN T COLBERT AWARD FOR THE LITERARY EXCELLENCE

Wow. I picked up Stephen Colbert's I Am America (And So Can You!) at the Orlando airport yesterday and finished it before I got to Duluth. It's wonderful, as I fully expected. And it comes with a page of stickers for "The Stephen T. Colbert Award for The Literary Excellence." It says,
Heroes, by buying and reading this book, you've proven you get it--and are therefore now members of the nominating committee for The Stephen T. Colbert Award for The Literary Excellence." Use the medallions below to nominate any book that you feel embodies the values of the Colbert Nation.
There are 12 medallions. So the next 11 people who email me requesting a copy of 101 Ways to Help Birds ($22 including shipping) will get their copy officially "stickered."

I'm at the Stephens Point, Wisconsin, Public Library right now. When I get home I'll scan a photo of my book with the official sticker so you can see just how prestigious it is for me to nominate my book for this award.
