More

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 Get Emails

By Matthew Yglesias

The things PR people try to pitch me on get pretty hilarious at times. For example:

For any upcoming hair-care stories, I’d like to offer you Martha Clemence (see photo and bio below), lead stylist for Fantastic Sams® Hair Salons. Some ideas that came to mind which Martha would love comment on:
  • The Hillary Do – Yay or Nay?
  • Washing that man right out of your hair - Post-Relationship at home hair care; what to do with the flowers, chocolate and wine he gave you
  • How to look and feel your best, even on a budget
  • How NOT to go gray naturally
  • Everyday tips and tricks on how to keep hair healthy, even if you use an iron or curler


Everyone knows you put the flowers, chocolate, and wine he gave you into your hair -- it forms an excellent shampoo.
