Former Prospect Bossman Mike Tomasky just founded his own blog over at Guardian America. Mike’s a sharp political thinker, but more than that, he’s a depressingly graceful writer who has a tendency to use words I don’t know and manage to sound articulate, rather than pretentious. Reading him has a “word of the day” quality. For instance, today’s word is “oleaginous.” Or maybe “mephitic.”

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.
