Matt Yglesias is subbing for Josh Marshall, which means the readability of Talking Points Memo has increased a hundred-fold.
Also, you gotta love the braziness of this- Marshall has a fund-raiser/donation period ofr a number of weeks, and as soon as it ends, he goes on vacation. Of course, 1500 people contributed. The last fundraiser I held, one person sent me 25 cents vial Paypal and someone sent me a book off my wish list. Heh.
But then, I do this for the love.
*** Update **
BTW- that was not a guilt trip or desperate plea for donations, I just thought it was funny. But, if you do feel the need to donate, I would much rather you go here and give to a needy military family.
I hate even writing the words ‘needy military family.’

Well, he has apparently learned from the master (Sullivan).

Didn’t he just, like, get married? This isn’t precisely a random vacation . . .

I thought needy military families was Bush plan for cutting the budget defecit in half.
