I understand that Random House has a contest on to help them design the cover for one of their most eagerly awaited titles of 2003. The Random House website strangely fails to list an appropriate email address for the Treason-ous Design competition, but I'm sure this is an oversight soon to be corrected. In the meanwhile I hope all of you visually skillful Ann Coulter fans out there will ask yourselves how you imagine the cover of Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism can best convey its message of extremism in defense of virtue, and send your solution in .jpg or .gif form to Coulter's editor at Crown.

My preliminary notion, which I'll have to describe since I really suck with Photoshop, runs something like this: against a red/white/blue backround, Coulter-as-Joan-of-Arc (no helmet, let the tresses blow majestically in the breeze), smiles beatifically as she drives an enormous broadsword into the belly of a medieval-style dragon with heads done as cariacatures of FDR, MLK, Hilary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Jesse Jackson, Norman Lear and Ralph Nader. The monster's gushing blood should pool and form the title of the book. If possible, Coulter should show leg.
