nikon offers a factory hood for the lens, i think i will pick one up as well. 
im not sure how the polarizer works, but does the hood need to come off when i use the polarizer?
you see, such newb questions...  kinda like some of you folks asking... so how to use washlet. do i just press a button and enjoy myself?  wow, that's some strong schit!!

You can use a cicular polarizer with a hood, but depending on the lens and hood, it might be hard to use together. To use a circular polarizer, use need to be able to adjust it. It's not like a UV filter that you just put on. You turn it to adjust.
You might be better off with a neutral density filter with direct sunlight shots.
