Shameless self-promotion, part 1

The Guardian runs a very nifty newsblog with the aim of bringing blogging, interesting links and world events into mainstream consciousness. They've very kindly linked to this blog today.

Official memo to self: The Guardian is truly the best newspaper in the world. Repeat often.

True memo: The Guardian is wonderful in highlighting issues from the developing world though sometimes finds it hard to seriously examine the results of state power and violence. It's sister paper, The Observer, shamefully supported the Iraq invasion, a complete rejection of its history and original charter.
