Cut and paste from Upworthy.com.

What actress Tilda Swinton did in Russia is courage defined. Below, she's holding a pride flag in Red Square. That seems like no big deal until you know that it's illegal in Russia to have "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" in public places. That basically means you can't show any support for LGBTQIA causes at all. You can be imprisoned for even holding a rainbow flag like Swinton is doing here — right in front of the Russian police.

This guy is such a dog that dogs are upset with him.  NPR and KPBS tell all that hizzoner is a sexual predator.  "At a press conference on Monday, attorneys Marco Gonzalez, Cory Briggs and former council member Donna Frye — all former Filner supporters — revealed the details of the allegations from three women who wish to remain anonymous.  According to statements from the women, one campaign volunteer said the mayor '[jammed] his tongue down her throat' and groped her; a constituent said that he kissed her and asked her on a date; a staffer said that he 'grabbed her ass and touched her chest.'"

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner in the video statement he released last week.
In an Adam Giabrone esque twist his " former fiancee, Bronwyn Ingram, came forward with the reasoning for their split..'Bob's constant infidelities which are being flaunted in my face lately along with his abusiveness and disrespect has become absolutely intolerable'"

6257...Vive La Belle Province

Not the resto; the actual province.

I am sure that someway, somehow, Pauline Marois and the Parti Quebecois will blame this on the English but...

Here is the story, direct from the Sun papers via Fark.

MONTREAL - Quebec's education ministry admits it gave out 130,000 high school diplomas with one pretty obvious grammatical error on them.
Most of the diplomas were presented in last month's graduation ceremonies across the province, but the error has been there for the past nine months.
Twin sisters noticed the problem after graduating and informed QMI Agency, which called the education department.
The error lies with the fact that verbs in French must agree with either masculine or feminine subjects in a sentence.
The diplomas are signed as if the education minister and deputy minister are both women. That was the case until recently. But nine months ago, a man was appointed deputy minister.
Thus, the verb should have been changed to its masculine spelling since, in French, the male verb is predominant.
"It is so simple. We learn that in high school," said Andréanne Graton, who recently graduated from Collège Laval.
"If we had made an error like that at school, we would have looked ridiculous," said her sister Gaëlle.
It would cost $225,000 to redo all the diplomas, said a spokesman for the ministry. So they won't. But they will offer a corrected version to those students who ask for one.
The spokesman said they are sorry for the error, which was caused by not paying attention to detail.


Seriously this could happen anywhere but it did happen ther.

Oops.
