Linkfest Wednesday

I check my RSS feeds today and there's a lot of good stuff. I'll share it now (since my last post made so little sense) so I don't have to keep the tabs up until the weekend.

• This photo from ihasahotdog totally cracked me up.


• You Go Girls!, perhaps a little more in my consciousness since I just finished reading this book.


• Don't use 'grad school' to escape the job market. There's an excellent point about working and going back to grad school only if you need it. So true. Wait 'till you know what you want to do before spending the extra cash.


• Where do laws come from?


• ::Soapbox:: Speaking of laws, there's some reluctance to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell even though most of the country wants it off the books. (That's actually even a higher percent in favor of the repeal than wanted Universal Health Care.) I say Man Up! (Take that however you want.)::Comes down from soapbox::


• Are you good at geography? I got them all!


• And on an excellent note, there's promising news about a malaria vaccine. Malaria, by the way, kills more people in Africa than HIV. Bill Gates' foundation does a lot for finding a cure for the disease as well.
