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.

Bring Back Free Clicking

You may have noticed the new NYTimes.com feature where if you double-click on a word -- no matter if the word is "to" or "all" or whatever -- up pops a contextual dictionary to define it. That's great, I guess, unless you, like me, like to click around randomly while reading text online. In that case, the Times' website has become all-but-unusable.

Well, I'm not alone. Kriston Capps is launching his Bring Back Free Clicking campaign complete with snazzy logo. Download your own button and post it on your site. Join the crusade!
