WTF, World: Volume XV

This week on a very special "WTF, World"...

Thursday = Wednesday!

Whatever. Here's some links.

  • Here's some highlights from an excellent article on the Bush administration's war against science, and, in particular, their adamant opposition to the HPV vaccine. Because curing cervical cancer won't be worth it if people have premarital sex. Wait, what? The full article also contains a quotation from a formal medical advisor to Focus on the Family, who would oppose an HIV vaccine (if one were available) for similar reasons. Bravo.
  • God forbid college becomes more affordable. Many universities refuse to put any part of their billion-dollar endowments into financial aid, and instead opt to go in the exact opposite direction and raise tuition. Anyone who tells you college is nothing like big business is either naive or lying.
  • Gay sex = earthquakes. It's science, people.
