My friend Dana Goldstein, who’ll soon be the new writing fellow at The American Prospect, has started up her own blogging website on the intertubes. With posts. Very readable! While there, I learned that half the world will soon live in cities (and not because megacities are growing, but because smaller cities are popping up in countrysides) and that Barack Obama writes bad poetry.

Ezra Klein is a former Prospect writer and current editor-in-chief at Vox. His work has appeared in the LA Times, The Guardian, The Washington Monthly, The New Republic, Slate, and The Columbia Journalism Review. He’s been a commentator on MSNBC, CNN, NPR, and more.
