BIG MEDIA MATT. And a big -- what's the word? -- "woo!" to Matt Yglesias for turning MSM ("mainstream magazine"). Matt has been a powerful voice at The American Prospect over the past few years, and his contributions and presence will be dearly missed. More personally, Matt was my original inspiration for entering blogging, the first to ever link to a post of mine, the person who encouraged me to apply for The American Prospect's writing fellowship, my cubicle mate, and is a good friend. I'm lastingly grateful for all he's done for the magazine, sure, but also for all he's done for me. In any case, us Prospecters will save you a chair at the Rooster and some cutlery to gesture with. Good luck, Ygz. And thanks. --Ezra Klein
