News in images

In an attempt to avoid waxing poetic or restating what we already suspect to be true, I'm going to let these images speak for themselves. The summary?

(1) Men make more money than women.
(2) The US winds up, in a vicious cycle, giving most foreign aid to countries where it start wars.
(3) The more money you make, the more you idealize your job.

Disclaimer: These graphics have absolutely nothing to do with each other. They happened to all just earn a star in my Google Reader for being interesting.

Fun toy!


This Google dataset compiles 54 of the World Development Indicators, everything from national agriculture production to cell phone descriptions. Plus, maps, scatter plots, bar graphs and line graphs for nearly all the variables. Where was this website back in my Model UN days?
