Tim Cavanaugh

This article is about the American blogger and editor. For the American humorist, see Tim Cavanagh.

Tim Cavanaugh is a columnist for Reason Magazine. Prior to that, he was Web editor of the Los Angeles Times opinion page. Prior to that, he was Web editor of Reason from 2002 to 2006 and the editor in chief of Suck.com from 1998 to 2001. He has also run his own site, The Simpleton, since 1997, and has contributed to many magazines, newspapers, and websites.

His satirical 2002 article mocking weblogs, "Let Slip the Blogs of War" (an update of an earlier article in Suck), infuriated many bloggers and was included in Perseus Publishing's anthology We've Got Blog. Nonetheless, shortly after joining Reason, Cavanaugh instituted the magazine's popular blog Hit & Run, which won a Weblog Award in 2005 and was named as one of Playboy's best political blogs. [1]
