Matt Yglesias has Left the Office

 Check out his very popular twitter feed for man-in-the-national-food-franchise takes on the upcoming midterms.  Tweeted from Marietta Dairy Queen and the local IHOP.

Some insights from local voters: — Gas prices are five times what they were a few years ago — Biden has left us dangerously vulnerable to Chinese invasion by dumping the strategic oil reserve — The FBI is like the Gestapo now

I can't figure if he's trying to be Borat*, Jay Leno or Alexandra Petri in his humor here. 

* The old men in the morning coffee clubs at the diners don't represent the people working in the hospitals, schools or stores. Get off your ass and freshen the comedy. Give us some edge. "I talked to a stoner at the DQ who didn't know there was a midterm coming" doesn't get you a comped cone these days, bro. ;-)  Just sayin.  (and you writing off the gas mileage for this "research project in the real world" too?  *shakin' my head.  Coulda been me; glad I'm not playin' those games...

"Look here: somebody's dumb grandpa out havin' coffee.  hehe.  Look at me! I'm getting my shoes dirty out in the real world talking to people."   Tune in all day, friends.  and don't forget to tip your wait staff/servers.
