Refreshing honesty

Got to give Matthew Yglesias credit for this:

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

I suppose that explains this, about which, the less said, the better.

The Manhattan/Harvard perspective is so underrepresented in the media, and it's nice that the populist journal Atlantic Monthy has finally given them a voice in the blogosphere.
