EZRA KLEIN v MATT YGLESIAS

let me goole that for you

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

― Gus Van Sotosyn (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, January 3, 2011 11:11 PM (Yesterday)

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

I mean, that image of him, gah

um

I was gonna respond but that guy's just some rando conversative troll, has a section on 'Interracial Marriage' on his site

steve sailer is a big mover and shaker in neo-scientific-racist circles

like, he's huge with the whole john derbyshire/taki mag crew. not a 'random troll' at all, sadly enough

weird, never heard of him

http://vdare.com/

ought to go on the right wing thread but it's not that entertaining :/

never heard of him either.

Lots of weird and snarky blog posts and comments about this.

http://agonyin8fits.blogspot.com/2011/05/morgan-stanley-yglesias.html

yup, a lot of people hate the guy

yeah celebrating an actual act of violence on someone you disagree w/ is nagl / bad karma. random acts of violence happen just as often outside ygleseque gentrifying urban areas.
