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.

Sopranos Ending

By Matthew Yglesias

Jun 9 2007, 10:21 AM ET Comment

Apparently the hot thing to do is try to guess who The Sopranos will end. I have no idea, so I'll just try to come up with a scenario I haven't already seen before. The FBI pinches Tony. It turns out they've had what they need to make a solid RICO case against him for some time.

The reason they haven't arrested him is that they think he and his "glorified crew" are small time. Their interest in arresting Tony is to get him to flip on Phil and the New York mob and they've been biding their time until relations between Tony and Phil get so bad that they think it's realistic to think Tony will be willing to be a witness -- after all, what does he have left to lose? Show ends with Tony broken and friendless in Arizona.
