Let me start by saying it's a pleasure to be blogging for the Guardian and, with any luck, you'll all be sick of me in short order. By way of introduction, my name is Brian Beutler. I'm currently writing from California, where I'll be spending the next two weeks on Thanksgiving holiday. But in unhappier times I live in the nation's capital, where I work as contributing writer for Grist Magazine, Washington correspondent for the Media Consortium and as a blogger for the widely respected and highly trafficked website known, elegantly, as Brian Beutler.
Now I can add Deadline USAer to that list - which means my life just became even more labourious and tiring. And which is all to say, it's good to be with you, and come back often.
Cheers!
