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.

Netroots Nation

By Matthew Yglesias

Apr 8 2008, 10:08 AM ET Comment

As you've probably heard if you read blogs, the event formerly known as "YearlyKos" is now "Netroots Nation." But you may not have heard about the exciting Netroots Nation fundraiser happening on Wednesday (i.e., tomorrow) here in DC at The Mott House.

I guarantee you this is the only fundraiser whose organizers would think it made sense to list me as a draw, but more interesting people like Russ Feingold and Reps. Brad Miller (NC-13) and Lloyd Doggett (TX-25) will also be there. Come on out -- the donations they're asking for ($35 or $50) aren't big, it's an important institution-building cause, should be a good time, and they're promising "free food, cheap drinks, lively conversation & progressive camaraderie" all of which are good things.
