We’ll take it for granted that everyone knows that Aug. 26th is Women’s Equality Day (you did know, didn’t you?), but thanks to Gloria Feldt for flagging this little gem–seems a friend of hers was trying to find a card to commemorate the occaision on AOL. That was when she found out that that the 26th is also National Toilet Paper Day, for which indeed AOL had a card, but none for Women’s Equality Day. If you want to let AOL know where to flush it, check out Gloria’s post.
