Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

Merry Christmas!

By Matthew Yglesias

Dec 25 2006, 12:26 AM ET Comment

I'll be celebrating with Ackerman in Chinatown watching The Good Shepherd and eating fried noodles, but I'd like to wish a merry Christmas to all the goyim of the world. Meanwhile, the Christmas Eve seen at the Black Cat was disappointingly lively -- nothing like the deadness of last December for some reason. What's more, their jukebox no longer features "Fairytale of New York" which sort of ruined the whole thing.

On a more substantive note, wouldn't complaints about Iranian interference in Iraq be more credible were the country not currently occupied by 130,000 or so American soldiers? I mean, if Iran conquered Canada, I assume we'd try and put some agents in place on the ground.
