Applying for visas at Belgium’s embassy in Dublin, some immigrants say they face mistreatment - Dublin Inquirerdublininquirer.com “It’s like they see you as inferior as a human being,” says Arpita Chakraborty. She isn’t alone in reporting a sense of belittlement after a visa appointment there.

A quick trawl through the coverage suggests that the guy who refused to say that he would accept the election results is perceived to have come out _better_ in last night's presidential debate. It's a real clash of the titans, isn't it?

Is being lynched by an angry mob something that intrigues you? Have you ever thought of a career as a VP?

I see Crock-of-Lies Dundee is married again, at 93. And who says romance is dead?

He could be convicted of cannibalism through extensive video evidence and some people would still donate to his slush fund. Extraordinary.
