Howdy friends,

Here's a link to a great article by the Indian author/activist Arundhati Roy. I've heard her speak on the radio and she's an inspiration. I understand that her novel, "The God of Small Things", is wonderful too.

And the Guardian is a good source of news anyway. Good reading to you! And for when you don't feel like reading, remember that the TV links I sent earlier have streaming video. You can actually watch the Irish TV news for a relatively objective view in English...
