Big Head DC just received this exclusive picture of three of Washington’s youngest, most ambitious political pundits (who like nothing more than to hear themselves talk) participating in one of their daily top-secret Web chat sessions. We’ve been told that the lads regularly strap on their earpieces and yank out their microphones to plot sinister ways they could one day lead various Washington print media outlets, including The Atlantic, The American Prospect and Reason magazine.
During such sessions, the boys often enjoy repeating anecdotes or mimicking blather they’ve heard older people around them say. Which is why, if you’ve heard Ezra (the regular middle in the threesome, for some reason) talking anytime lately, he’s taken to relentlessly referencing Chris Matthews‘ favorite film, Cat Ballou. Or if you’ve seen little Jules, he’s waxed poetically about growing his hair out dramatically like his idol Nick Gillespie. Or if you’ve spotted Matthew Yglesias at a bar or fast food restaurant (or both), you’ve heard him going on and on about the joys of gay sex. (His colleague, Andrew Sullivan, has whispered a lot about that topic in his ear lately, we hear.)
Yes, these guys are swell. If you happen to see them in person (or even in a chat room) during the holidays, be sure to tell them Big Head DC sends them a hearty “Merry Christmas.” And let ‘em know that 2008 is going to be wild!

The conservative blogger has practically given up talking politics, 
…Andrew Sullivan suddenly wants to prove he’s conservative again. And he does so by 
The December Atlantic will have bear-blogger Andrew Sullivan on Barack Obama as its cover. Can you hold your breath until then? Let’s hope Sully is as right on Obama as he’s historically been on everything from “the end of AIDs” to publishing excerpts from The Bell Curve in The New Republic to his participation in a religion that hates him to his misreadings of Susan Sontag to supporting the war in Iraq to linking the 2001 anthrax mailings somehow to the war to endorsing Bush in 2000!
