Iceland Appoints First Lesbian Prime Minister


After conservatives destroyed their country, a Lesbian Prime Minister Takes Power in Iceland.

Social Democrat Johanna Sigurdardottir leads a new left-wing coalition govenment. She is the first female Prime Minister in Iceland, and the first (openly) gay head of state in the world.

The big story is that Iceland is an extreme example of the failures of conservative economic policies. If Prime Minister Sigurdardottir and her government can turn things around, we can put Iceland on our list of good places to live (but it's COLD!)

Another good thing about Iceland is the alternative music group Sigur Ros. Check them out!
