Britain's Guardian

It's always fun to surf on over to the home page of a great foreign newspaper. The Guardian Unlimited site gives you two for the price of one: the piquant, left-leaning Guardian (formerly the Manchester Guardian) and its weekly edition the Observer. This fun, accessible site couches all of the spirit of the broadsheet in an attractive and well-thought-out layout. Click the "Brits and Pieces" link for saucy and unusual news items from British life, such as the recent revelation that a charity shop was inadvertantly selling hardcore porn videos to the elderly. And once you're up to speed on all the goings-on across the pond, you can try taking the "News Quiz," a cheeky ten-question round-up of current events. And who says "British journalism" is an oxymoron?
