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.

Anyone Want a Poet-Center?

My friend Jeff pointed out to me that the obvious solution to the Wizards' Etan Thomas problem is for Ernie Grunfeld to work out a trade for him before he gets healthy enough for Eddie Jordan to put him back in the rotation and ruin things. Given that the team is basically fine with Thomas injured, I'd be willing to trade him for just about anything but we need $6 million in salary to match so it's a bit trickier than just dumping him off for a couple of undesirable draft picks or something.
