It's Spencer Ackerman versus Megan McArdle in the ultimate vlog cooking face-off. Ezra Klein and Will Wilkinson assist with the cooking. Tyler Cowen, Amanda Mattos, Catherine Andrews, and Kriston Capps make special guest appearances as do Marissa Long and Lindsay Gibson neither of whom even have blogs (oh noes!), which tells you how super-awesome this matchup is.

whoever manages to watch this through is a genius of endurance.

Y'all keep this up, and we're going to have to start to describe y'all as a salon.

Seriously? I'm really interested, but I have to go watch paint dry right now.

When President Obama outlaws waterboarding, the military can just play this on loop to detained Jihadists.

Less entertaining, but slightly more inspired, than katie.*

*See "Obama on the Economy" post.

A bloggingheads episode only notable for making fun of your sweaters and the following exchange:

"Spencer, what do you think of Obama's foreign policy?

"Well Mega-*WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"


It's like he was censored by a blender

Good God, I defy anyone to watch that for 93 minutes and 16 seconds.

Sometimes I forget all you guys are 19 years old. Posts like this remind me.

If I wanted to watch a bunch of self-absorbed 20 somethings mug for the camera, I'd rent St. Elmo's Fire.

hillary won the new mexico caususes. but as we know, it doesn't count. oh wait, it does, because she won.

hillary won the new mexico caususes.

There's a new mexico?

Cool.

Kidding.

And this is a surprising result considering it's prime cult country.

Anyway, the Team Clinton press release on an insignificant caucus state victory, fueled by wealthy, educated party activists, will be entertaining.

I tried watching (OK, I didn't try, but pretend) but the cocoon surrounding the video got in the way. Can I suggest that for future video efforts, MattY might consider a trip to the real world? So much to discover!

I thought ABC canceled Cavemen.

Ezra Klein is the only one who doesn't look like the missing link.

And Whack O'Mole blogwhores a cooking thread. What a fucking tool. Did the 'New Mexico' comments fire up the BrownMenaceAlert wired to his half-descended testicles?

"Seriously? I'm really interested, but I have to go watch paint dry right now. "

Eggshell? Beige? Ecru?
Can I watch with you? I'll bring sticks, so that we can hit ourselves in the b*lls.

I never knew Matthew Yglesias was such an a**-kisser!

Bloggingheads.tv is a welcome forum. But, "BloggingChefs" is as bad as the Olympics. Why sit on your a** watching people cook and talk politics when one can do with friends? The quality of the dialogue went south from the usual format. And, viewers can't eat the food!

Overall, worse than network TV!

"I have to go watch paint dry right now."

May I suggest watching your fingernails grow? It's more intimate.

And Matt thinks the "Terminator" show sucks!

Is he seriously comparing Summer Glau to Megan McArdle?

Let's do that comparison!

First, Megan (in the one of two decent size shots I could find - not that popular, our McMegan):

Next, Summer Glau:

Now Summer COOKS!
