Some odds and ends...
When confronted with the insurmountable pile of evidence that one's chosen leader is a colossal flop whose penchant for theocratic sycophancy causes him to recount things that simply did not happen (among other things), the terminally proud, dyed-in-the-wool (pick your own militant pathology) will insist that the opposite argument or whoever utters it is the worst thing or human being in the world. That is the tone of a spoiled child. In the arena of adults, that simply will not do. That is why it is incumbent on those who know better to say so until the opposite side's ears bleed.
Obama came from affluence and is incompetent as a leader.
Paul Ryan wants to save Medicare and actually knows math.
There are no divisions other than those created by those so desperate for a distraction that they would invent such divisions.
That's it, really.
What a surprise. The rest of Canada has had it with Quebec's antics and wouldn't care if it left the Dominion (the Canadian one, not the Gamma Quadrant one):
Well, you brought it on yourselves, Quebec. At least, the Parti Quebecois has pushed you rather easily in that direction.
Quebec is a lovely place and its people- I've found- are friendly. What rubs me the wrong way, as it has with other Canadians, is the idea that it is super-exceptional and deserving of special rights. Nope. Any individual is a "distinct society" and one still wouldn't bend over backwards for him. Either pull up your boot straps, get over yourselves and start being Canadians or you can enjoy your economic and demographic decline.
And now, a lake in France is filled with BLOOD!

With the separatist Parti Quebecois leading the polls ahead of next month's Quebec election, a new survey says one in four in the rest of Canada are fed up and ready to kick Quebec out of Confederation.
In fact, just a bare majority of English-speaking Canadians outside Quebec would vote to keep Quebec in Canada in the event of another referendum crisis, Abacus Data says in a new poll provided exclusively to QMI Agency.
And despite being divided over whether Quebec should stay in or get out, English-speaking Canadians outside of Quebec overwhelmingly agree that Quebec should not be given special treatment even if that increases the risk of separation.

Seeing images of lakes turning blood red like this one in Camargue, France, can be a bit scary — especially if you have any nagging worries about 2012 actually being the year the world will end.
There's no need to worry, though. It happens every year, and it's completely natural.
"This phenomenon is a result of the salt content in brine shrimp Artemia salina and algae Dunaliella salina.
When the salt concentration is very high — which is the case before harvest — the brine shrimp die and saline algae proliferates giving this unusual colour," said Patricia Estebe of Camargue's tourist office.
