STATUTORY GUARDIAN LINK OF THE DAY

Salam Pax, the "Baghdad Blogger", has "written" a book. Er, well not exactly. The bookstore shelves are now groaning under the weight of the collected Salam Pax's blog entries. I was on the verge of buying it the other night. Maybe later, but it somehow defeats the whole bloggin concept donchathink?

You might have noticed that the Guardian is now running a weekly column by Salam Pax. This week he (she?) mentioned the introduction of new bank notes in Iraq sans the smiling face of Saddam Hussein (he's gone a bit quiet lately hasn't he?). There was something about the new notes on BBC news whilst I was getting ready for work this morning. It must have had an effect on me, because I forgot to have a shave.

Nice to see that the occupying forces are doing great work for the people of Iraq - i.e. a fully functioning web site. Krispy-kremes (along with Ronald McDoanld, Britney Spears and Rush Limbaugh - one the four horsepersons of the colonial apocalypse) are on the horizon.
