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.

While I'm on a summer vacation roll...

Former National Journal White House Correspondent, Reader's Digest Washington Bureau chief, and brand-new blogger Carl Cannon argues that the reporters who follow around the next president are going to get to spend some time in pretty sweet vacation spots. As much as Ellen may joke about getting hitched on the Crawford ranch, I can't imagine it's best place to spend time if you're a beach rather than a brush type.

All kidding aside, Carl knows just an insane amount about the presidency and what it's like to cover it, so it's great that he'll be sharing some of that experience daily and out from behind a pay wall. Plus, he is a really, really funny guy, and serious baseball nut, so hopefully once he's settled in, we can hear stories about hanging out with Frank Robinson, too.
