Slate’s Matthew Yglesias, who disparaged the concept of property right as “the myth of ownership,” has spent $1.2 million to purchase “a converted Victorian rowhouse … [which] has original exposed-brick walls and a private patio” in Washington, D.C.’s affluent Logan Circle neighborhood.

Mockery ensued at Ace of Spades, the Daily Caller and Twitchy. It would probably be wrong to suggest that readers make sarcastic comments to Matthew Yglesias on Twitter, so we won’t do that.
