This is the charter blog of the Matthew Yglesias fanclub.

In a parallel universe, there is a mayor rebuffing an otherwise well-qualified coalition partner for having worn Tevas.

Matthew Yglesias doesn't offer his resignation to the Washington Post, the Washington Post offers its resignation to him.

s/b "Might make perfect sense..." or "Might make a perfect happening since there is a toenail fungus thing." Either way, sleep time for me.

Whatever happened to Tom Hilde, anyway?

"Then i'm back in lillehammer again. The camp in sweden went good. It was awesome to see the enthusiastic children jump in every kind of hills. And also to be admired by over 150 children feels great. I've never seen so many kids smile after just getting a high five."

The article doesn't answer the important question: will he put a stop to Iceland's volcanic tyranny over the world's airways?

The article, despite its being the best piece of journalism to emerge from the Times in many long years, and despite its having sexually gratified a solid majority of the world's small rodents, is not perfect in every way, no.

My opinion, not shared by pretty much anyone, is that I felt the same about the Wire after season 3 as I did after season 5.

I heard the Washington Post is developing a new project called "Infinite Resignation" with funding provided by the Knight Foundation.

It very well could be! Looks like he's done well for himself, if so.

Mr. Gnarr is best known here for playing a television and film character named Georg Bjarnfredarson, a nasty, bald, middle-aged, Swedish-educated Marxist whose childhood was ruined by a militant feminist mother.
I wish to learn Icelandic just so I can watch this. Ideally, I would study it using the Icelandic subtitles to The Wire.

13: Could it be ... this guy?

I think it most probably is (Or does this go on your blog? I was not around here back in that day). My trace is from a blurb at the bottom of his post on Yglesias,
"Shameless book plug: more on the legitimacy element in my forthcoming volume on Pragmatism and Globalization (Rodopi, Amsterdam, 2006)." to, "His volume Pragmatism and Globalism will appear in 2009." from your link. I guess it's taking some time to find and eliminate all of the typos.

I also found this paragraph from a Crooked Timber comment--which I did read at the time but would have had no idea it described his visit to Unfogged.

I spent some time on an Yglesias fanblog the other day (by surfing chance) and got called douchebag, asshole, vacuous scum, disturbed schizophrenic, tool, troll, dogshit, etc. I apparently made the mistake of being critical of Yglesias through a discussion of the relation between spelling and reading and used the word "idiot," although it wasn't directed at him. The fanclub called him "brilliant," someone who corrects others' misperceptions," blah, blah. I disagree, but not getting anything interesting from a writer is not the same as that writer being dogshit. I asked for the brilliance and got the dogshit.
Unfogged, bringing the dogshit since 2005 (I don't know what it brought before that).

Last night I had what I think was my first dream that included an Unfogged commenter. And it was you, Jackmormon. I was at a party with my family introducing a lot of people to other people and then you showed up and I was trying to figure out how to introduce you, and then an old boss of mine showed up complicating the introductions even more. To your credit, you were protesting that you could introduce yourself. And then I woke up, in Wisconsin.

I notice my dreams tend to lag real life events by a matter of some months, so about on schedule for the meetup to enter the dream realm.

He should spend time on the Yglesias blog itself, where virtually every comment either calls Yglesias an idiot or bemoans that he isn't writing about more important things.

Hell, I didn't even know this was the Yglesias fanblog, but then I wasn't around whenever this person was called vacuous scum.
