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.

NBA Donors

This is several days old, but Kevin Arnovitz at TrueHoop has the lowdown on NBA-related political contributions. Inept Celtics GM Danny Ainge is backing Mitt Romney, but so is Daryl Morel who seems to be doing a good job in Houston. Outside the box coaching superstar Mike D'Antoni is backing John Edwards, as is Charles Barkley. Barack Obama has the most player support, including from Starbury, Baron Davis, and Shane Battier. Tons of owner-love for Hillary Clinton, including evil ones like Paul Allen and James Dolan.
