Philip Baruth (on the right) is more than a Renaissance man, he is an entire Renaissance posse-- professor (University of Vermont), novelist (The Ex-President, The Brothers Boswell), politician (Vermont State Senator), commentator (Vermont Public Radio), and award winning political blogger (Vermont Daily Briefing).

His BROWN FEDORA BOOKS offering is SLED DOGS AND HEAVYWEIGHTS, a collection of the best from his blogs.  The book will make you laugh, think, bubble in anger, and rethink the political views  you’ve harbored since you first got hung up trying to slide closed that curtain  on your first voting booth.
