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.

Time to Close the Books

By Matthew Yglesias

I feel like it's safe to say that now that Michael O'Hanlon is following up last week's Washington Times op-ed with a column for National Review Online and an appearance on Laura Ingraham's radio show that he's cast himself out of the broad left-of-center community in favor of becoming a conservative movement propagandist whose salary just happens to be paid by Brookings.

This, however, makes the Michael O'Hanlon Primary all the more pressing. The word on the street in 2004 was that O'Hanlon was in line for some kind of job in a John Kerry administration. This time around, in a Fox News appearance O'Hanlon expressed his support for Hillary Clinton. Does Clinton return the admiration?
