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.

The Winner Is

Powerstrip issues aside, John Edwards wins the "best info booth at YearlyKos 2007" primary in a landslide thanks to his inflatable furniture. Garrett Graff (pictured above), of Washingtonian magazine and formerly of Howard Dean's presidential campaign, agreed that if Joe Trippi had thought of the inflatable furniture gambit back during the 2004 cycle that might have been enough to put Dean over the top. Graff reports that People Powered Howard was unduly dependent on beanbag chairs (the Vermont hippie influence?) and that Edwards seems to be learning from his mistakes.
