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.

About Tonight

By Matthew Yglesias

May 5 2007, 12:12 PM ET Comment

I think the Rockets can win it at home tonight, and think the Jazz are really going to regret the way that season-end slide cost them home court advantage since this has wound up being a really tight series. I think Yao's low post skills and T-Mac's size and ability to elevate mean Houston won't have Dallas-esque problems with the Warriors, but of course I was quite sure Dallas would beat Golden State so I think everyone's opinions about their next matchup are essentially worthless.

UPDATE: Yikes -- gotta check that schedule. I just assumed they wouldn't schedule a round two game before the completion of round one, but Chicago-Detroit kicks off tonight. My heart says Bulls; if they can dismantle one Eastern Conference dinosaur, then why not two?
