Congratulations are in order to Matt Yglesias, who's closing down his site and thus reducing my competition.

Okay, he's really just moving. Scared you though, didn't I? Matt's been bought out by Josh Marshall's TPM Cafe, where he'll have a solo site hosted on their servers and backed by the increased credibility and visibility provided by Josh Marshall's imprimatur. So congratulations to him, it's a terrific move that should make the guy ever more visible and give me ever more to live up to as the next American Prospect fellow to emerge from Blogland. Actually, putting it that way -- never mind. Bastard couldn't even let me get started before upping the bar.
