Columnist/blogger Matthew Yglesias, who none of you have ever heard of because he's only famous in D.C. and in the offices of The American Prospect, finally does something useful: a summary of this weekend's NYT and WaPo columnists.

· Nicholas Kristof, NYT: Why would you blow up a building in exchange for some grapes?
· David Brooks, NYT: The really great thing about Republicans is their love of universal health care.
· Dahlia Lithwick, NYT: Why propose solutions to problems?
· George Will, WaPo: I come not to praise Joe Biden but to bury John Kerry.
· Jim Hoagland, WaPo: If only the war on terror were more like the war on drugs, then we'd be doing great.
· David Broder, WaPo: Everyone says we should do what the 9-11 Commission said, but I talked to members of a different commission, and they said not to, so we shouldn't.

We salute Mr. Yglesias's new commitment to relevance.
