Damn, congrats to Yglesias.
Does this mean that Atlantic might get back to being worth reading again?

I guess it's possible....
I don't think so, bitch. He's going to be writing a blog for the Atlantic -- there's no indication that Matt will be in the print publication.
Although, now that I'm thinking about it, when Matt finishes his book, the Atlantic ought to publish excerpts of it as an article.
Congrats to Yglesias, and congrats to the Atlantic. As nice a pickup by the magazine as TNR's hire of Plumer. But Yglesias's anti-cartoon bias remains appalling.
1 - Doubtful, given that the bulk of the worthwhile talent decamped for Vanity Fair. But where else will I go to read Caitlin Flanagan talking about the feminine preoccupation with shag carpeting in abortion clinics?
"feminine preoccupation with shag carpeting in abortion clinics?"
I missed that. What are we supposed to have? Persian rugs?
6: Hardwood floors with tasteful area rugs.
What kind of a choice is it, if a woman is compelled to go to a clinic with tacky decor?
We're supposed to be wealthy enough to remodel. Shag carpeting is so over.
7 - words so profound, they could be Rush lyrics.
If you choose not to abort, you still have made a choice.
9: Thank you, heebie-geebie! That's just about the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!
Are there interior decorators that specialize in abortion clinics?
We do have some nice posters of women's reproductive organs and a wide variety of magazines from the last two years.
Oh yes, and drug reps have provided some very nice bc literature.
We're supposed to be wealthy enough to remodel.
Only the truly wealthy remodel their abortion provider's office.
though in exchange for a salary I think I'm going to try harder to avoid typos. … Friday evening, the DNS propagation of the new URL will being … By one week for today, …
Sigh.
11 - Take mean mean pride in your words.
Congrats to Yglesias! Let us commemorate the moment by ordering a second shipment of official fansite underpants.
11: That's just about the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!
Truly, our world is a cold, cruel place.
17: Such an awesome comment, text.
Yglesias will have a slave girl at the Atlantic to satisfy his spelling and other needs.
Why thanks, BG. My old pair is getting a bit ratty from overuse.
There's too much pee/comity on Unfogged today.
Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth
But the clinics have no charms to sooth the restless dreams of youth
After you eat Drymala, you might think about getting a real job yourself.
This is excellent news. We've stopped reading the Atlantic out of solidarity with my wife's aunt who was edged out of her spot (third on the masthead!) in the recent reshuffling, but maybe I can make an exception for blogs.
Yay Sausagely! I just finally let my subscription lapse after a lot of years of figuring that the one or two good articles in most issues made up for the neocons and the Flanagan. If they keep doing things right I might have to reconsider.
Is 29 sock puppetry? Or a blatant pretext to get more comments for -gg-d's post?
sock puppetry? That phrase always reminds me of the book "If You Give A Moose a Muffin."
Just want to make it close. Fortunately, I can trust ogged not to throw potential victory into the trash in the manner that LB did. The Becks juggernaut must be stopped!
And, no, I'm not moved by Becks' attempt to call the game on account of boringness in a shallow, obvious attempt to lock down her increasingly tenuous hold on victory.
Damn you, Ned! Damn you straight to hell!
I concede to the Suns-like run of comments/points that Becks' minions have put up. Ned as Barbosa. Who knew?
Hurrah for Ygglz! Hurrah for underdogs!
I'm a sucker for underdogs. Also deeply disturbed by the image of Sullivan and Ygglz quarreling over socks and hampers.
Sausagely is telling people he's moving to Portland OR. To me mocking a nice little city like that is cruel.
