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.

Internet, Am I Crazy?

By Matthew Yglesias

Probably. But here's the thing. For the past 24 hours or so, every embedded YouTube video I read with my Google Reader turns out to be this Darcy Burner ad. Now I don't mind some Darcy Burner, but oftentimes the context clearly indicates that this isn't the right video. And, indeed, if I navigate out of Google Reader and to the "real" website in question everything turns out fine. But according to Google Reader, all YouTube videos are Darcy Burner ads.

Is this the kind of thing that happens when the netroots really, really love a candidate? More likely, I suppose, this is a problem with the Safari 3 Public Beta I downloaded the other day.
