Odd. The Leonids should have been over by a couple days. Fluke meteors are scary.

Also, did anyone else see the one we had in Seattle like that last week? I missed it!

Great. Something else to feature in my recurring apocalypse nightmares.

The greatest thing* about that meteor video is that it actually looks like it's daytime for a moment - then back to complete darkness.

*Y'know, 'cuz the list of great things about meteors striking the Earth is so long

Tthe French socialist party leadership link is bad reporting, it doesn't say who is voting:

voters
Socialist party members
Socialist party leaders
delegates?????

Apparently they do this party leadership choice in like a one day process caled "voting" or something? Instead of a 13-month battle royal (no pun intended) involving arcane delegate formulas, superdelegates, and insider credentials committee battles on national TV.

Weird, huh? They just vote.

Wow. Vachemente fait.

Commies.

That has given them ample time to start replicating and replacing the Earth's leaders, then.
