Some joke about corporate sponsorship here.

That was pretty interesting. I found David's description of Krugman curious: that Krugman could come away from an interview thinking Obama was "this close" to him on the issues. That doesn't match the Krugman I've been reading for the past few months.

Five episodes with Bobo Fett and none with Natalie Portman. Very disappoint.

Seriously, the Atlantic needs to get a gym.

Jesus Christ, Brooks and Ambinder are idiots.

Great line about not impressing Republican columnists.

The golf carts going back and forth in the background are just classic.

The tension between you and David Brooks was perceptible, Matt. It must get lonely for you at the Atlantic -- only Ross seems to genuinely enjoy arguing with you -- and ideologically, he's on the opposite side.

"It must get lonely for you at the Atlantic -- only Ross seems to genuinely enjoy arguing with you..."

Which is probably why Matt doesn't give a shit about this blog. Which is why it's run like it was being run by the Katrina gang. Typos, bad grammar, links that don't work, endless server errors, multiple posts as a result of same.

Face it, people like Brooks just don't take Matt seriously. And why should they?

Geez, could Brooks & Ambinder be bigger concern trolls?

Aw yeah. Boo fucking hoo.

It's not too late for Yglesias to learn a useful trade and then maybe get a real job. Nobody's forcing him to evolve into the next Davey Brooks. But I guess that's what he wants to do.
