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.

I got an email from the Obama campaign noting that "This race took a sharply negative turn yesterday" and trying to do a little jujitsu with some of the attacks from the Clinton campaign. It's still the case, though, that if you want to see a real sharp negative turn, you need to look to Republicans. Check this out:



Utterly devastating. And best of all nobody really knows what HuckabeeFacts.com is or who's behind it.

UPDATE: Okay, via Jason Zengerle, the Arkansas Times says the video is by Keith Emis, 29, who "grew up in Fayetteville and works in his family's Data Forms business in Greenland. He said he incurred no expenses, save gas and video tapes, and used friends as volunteer help, including one with video production experience." I'd put the odds of that not being the whole story as pretty darn high.
