As you may know, I'm working on a book. As of yet, it has no title. The contract refers, I believe, to The Untitled Matthew Yglesias Foreign Policy Project, which is pretty cool. Sam Rosenfeld suggests IRL a mashup of that idea with Ezra's proposal for Jonah Goldberg and release The Matthew Yglesias Foreign Policy Project: A Very Serious, Thoughtful Argument that has Never Been Made in Such Detail or with Such Care. I'll let you know when to start the preordering.

Can you put a picture of the Doughy Pantload with a Hitler mustache on the front? That thing would fly off the shelves.
I'd like to suggest "War and Peace" for your title, but I can't.
DJ Moonbat,
Don't forget, you have to mention Doughy Pantload or some other wingnut in the title. MY will have to retitle it(as an example): "The Matthew Yglesias Foreign Policy Project: A Very Serious, Thoughtful Argument that has Never Been Made in Such Detail or with Such Care or how Jonah Goldberg is in bed with the Islamofascists"
It's got to be named this, Matthew. Please?

Sounds like an especially smart progressive rock band. ;)
I'd like to suggest "War and Peace" for your title, but I can't.
Sure, you can. Even if you could copyright a title (you can't), Tolstoy's been dead a long time.
You to B&N clerk: Where can I find "War and Peace"?
B&N clerk to you: the Tolstoy one or the Yglesias one?
Yeah, that'll happen!
So true, Al. Once Matt's finished, nobody will even remember the Tolstoy one.
It's got to be named this, Matthew. Please?
I actually thought the one right below it was even better.
If you could convince your graphic designers working on the cover to include the Hitler Mustache of X-Treme Seriousness and Thoughtfulness, that would be awesome.
If you use that title everyone will asssume it has something to do with McSweeney's.
War and Peace, Bitches? To avoid the confusion, although the arrogance of appropriating the original title is admirable.
I think the title suggested by Jackmormon was awesome.
Absent that, the title should include some wisdom from Outkast.
Second Gregory on the band name.
Absent that, the title should include some wisdom from Outkast.
Like Taking That Thang Out: A Very Serious, Thoughtful Argument that has Never Been Made in Such Detail or with Such Care. I'd buy it.
How about: Foreign Adventures, Alarums, & Excursions: Whose Leaders Would Jesus Talk To?
You should just steal "Succexy". Everyone knows that's what you really want to do.
The Untitled Matthew Yglesias Foreign Policy Project,
TUMmY-FPP? That sounds like a bit of onomatopoeia for what new parents do to entertain their toddlers :-).
From the Flophouse to Fallujah: Unleashing Hipsterism in Foreign Policy
Castrophe Brings us Together, but Alt-Country Solo Albums Drive us Apart: Metric, Rainer Maria, and The War on Terror
Soi-Disant Liberalism: An Orthogonal Critique
Bombs over Beinart
The book should be pre-called:
Fellating the Devil: Conservatism's Headlong Nosedive into the Pants of the Evil One
I was under the impression that the book would be called "LOL WTF D00D: A Sober Consideration of the Bush Doctrine"
Heil Ahmadinejad: Confessions of an Anti-Semitic Jew
Porn Fallacy
Plato was a Fascist Bastard
PS I'm Jewish
Why Can't You Assholes Get Along?
Noam Chomsky Was Right About Everything
etc etc
how about:
The Enemy At Home: The Imperialist Neoconservative Right and its' Responsibility for the Destruction of All American Foreign Policy Goodwill since the Marines landed in Tripoli in 1803
Go meta: Witty Title: Longer Explication of the Substance of This Book.
In all seriousness, is it possible to avoid this formulation? The best one I've seen is The Republican War on Science.
Liberal Internationalism in the Post-Iraq Age?
Reevaluating Lindbergh
Title
American Foreign Policy in the Oughts, A Post Mortem
Subtitle:
"The Doughy Pantload and the Moustache of Understanding
Or maybe just "Beyond the Moustache of Understanding"
We Are Not Hal Jordan: Against the Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics
I'm with Beaudrot. Avoid teh Title: Longer Subtitle formulation if you possibly can. The great Charles Tilly used to boast of never having published a book with a subtitle, along with never serving in a professional association or chaired a department. A good example to follow.
The Wages of Wankers.
I seem to remember John Cleese going on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and presenting clips from something which I think was called The Association of Gentlemen Who Enjoy To Do Very Scary Things Together. And the clip would be something like a guy playing a piano which was on sliding down a mountain on skis. The piano player got more and more into his performance as the piano built up speed until eventually it hit the moguls and you saw the guy go flying and the piano shatter into an explosion of flying keys. Anyway, your title reminded me of John Cleese and that made me smile. I say keep it.
The Problem of Dual Loyalties in American Foreign Policy: Should I Make the Intellectual Case Proving That the Foreign Policy Establish Consists of a Bunch Clueless Losers, Or Should I Beat Up Jonah Goldberg and Steal His Lunch Money?
m, saves the cost of a cover image - there won't be room!
I think Alan Parsons beat you to it.
If Jonah Goldberg doesn't stop fucking saying "serious"
The obvious source of Serious Foreign Policy Book titles (also: names for your dog) is here.
I suggest
What Are The Civilian Applications
I Said, I've Got A Big Stick
Very Little Gravitas Indeed
Frank Exchange Of Views
Congenital Optimist
Ethics Gradient
Synchronise Your Dogmas
The Ends of Invention
Unfortunate Conflict Of Evidence
Irregular Apocalypse
Shoot Them Later
and so on...
I've been inspired by the best title ever. Thanks to Jackmormon and JP for linking to it. When i finished laughing, I created the cover art for Matt's book. Now all we need are the pages Yglesias...
http://sens8shun.com/best-book-title-ever-matt-yglesias-are-you-reading-this.htm
Karl, I'm pretty sure that was Graham Chapman, not Cleese.
I'd like to reiterate my suggestion on Unfogged of "The Mineshaft Gap: Deterrence and Delusion in a Post-Cold War World".
Don't just stop at the title. For help on selecting a cover image for your book take a hint from this man.
thanks..
