#1 Might watn to draw attention to the wage disparity - those are aggregate, which include job choices. Men going into engineering vs women going into teaching = salary disparity. WOmen engineers and men engineers get paid pretty much the same given same career paths i.e. women who take a few years out for the "Mommy track" do fall behind, as would men were they to do the same.

Also on your terrorist deathwatch site, the graph at the top says 06 on the horizontal axis - shouldn't that be 07?

#5 whew. For a second I thought it was gonna be Chuck Taylor.

(You know, a rotation between Chuck Taylor and Robert Mugabe could probably almost make up for the loss of Ed Anger).

#6 Nicely written, Chuck. For the information-deprived, it no doubt went down like a pitcher of ice water in the desert. May this be the first of many remunerative triumphs.

#8 Nice work Chuck. It's not easy writing an op-ed piece in 750 words. Your piece flows nicely.

#10 I love the ending: "I would like to see these bits of information in headlines. ... I hate getting my news from the People's Daily."

Zing!

Congrats, Chuck! Keep it up.

#12 OS - yep, and all the times I've published this chart, you're the only one to notice.

Thanks for the kudo's, folks. Now if I could only get something about the Terrorist Death Watch published...

Hot damn, Chuck! That's gonna leave a mark. ;-p

#14 Concise and to the point. Editors love that. Are you interested in Opium eradication in Afghanistan?
You might want to comment on this recent UN report:
