speaking as a gay man, I can affirm that I'm not always angry, but I do get miffed when I'm out of rugelagh, as I am tonight.

u had to goole it

gooler than me

I do get miffed when I'm out of rugelagh

Greenwald has other virtues but humor ain't one of them.

yeah my god he is completely humorless, def a flaw of his

Now suppose he sits down in a room with Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Donohue, and David Koch and persuades all three of those people that this is the right way to proceed.

classic yglesias

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

expected more votes and a klein landslide...tho I guess about 16 people post on the politics thread if you think about it

i didn't vote! so it would have been one more, for one of them.

close call!

jefferson airplane on krugman's blog. give my vote to him.

i missed this thread, but i would've voted for Ezra Klein. mostly because he is more insightful on economics and health care (which are topics i care more about) than Yglesias, whose expertise seems to be foreign policy (which interests me, but not as much). he also doesn't have Yglesia's tendency to disappear up his ass wr2 philosophical musings and such.

things i learned abt matty glesi today: he is a recovering rageoholic, he works standing up now

other things i know: he has lost a lot of weight recently, he is tall

what is rageaholism

it is when u cant get enough of rage i think

wow that would be terrible

working standing up is a donald rumsfeld thing, i wonder if the two are related? seems counterproductive if so

i miss billmon

working standing up is a newly popular weight loss strategy

its also supposed to be good for your heart

or not "good" just "not as bad as sitting all day"

i work standing up sometimes

i work standing on a pilates ball on top of an orphan

lol ward 8

or ward B rather

ward deal with it

he should just rename his blog 'I hate living in Washington DC'

he should move to nyc poor thing

I don't get why he couldn't, it seems like 90% of his job is online

all his friends are in dc :-/

klein, yglesias, & crew IN the ny times style section.

mostly innocuous, though i want to laugh at the editor that let "new thing called HTML" get through.

according to blog insider 'max' these two dudes were their roommates so theyre def in

the quotable yglesias:

"Off the top of my head, the fact that Korean workers are outliers in lack of leisure time as well as suffering from a skyrocketing suicide rate suggests that maybe they should relax."

I only read via rss feed but sheesh new thinkprogress site is pretty horrific
