In the wake of economic and political meltdown in Iceland, Social Democrat Johanna Sigurdardottir has been appointed Prime Minister, replacing Geir H. Haarde.
A former flight attendant and union organizer, Sigurdardottir has a 73 percent approval rating among Icelanders. She will be Iceland’s first female prime minister and the first openly gay prime minister in the world!













Harvey Milk is grinning ear-to-ear right now. Go Iceland!
Awesome! I am totally digging Iceland right now because I just discovered Emiliana Torrini.
Maybe PM Sigurdardottir (I had to check that three times to make sure I spelled it correctly) can work on making Iceland a little cheaper to visit….
When she does, I’m there!
Yah Iceland! My sister-in-law lived there with her husband for a year and won’t shut up about how awesome it is. I am now convinced she may be right.
Oh this is just awesome. Hopefully, she’ll do good things for Iceland’s economy.
Wow, that’s just lezelicious!
Is it just coincidental that minorities are finally becoming leaders of their countries now that the world economy is fucked?
Or is it at all possible that people are finally, finally realising that old white men are not the solution to every problem?
Anyway, good luck Sigurdardottir, you’ve got a tough job ahead of you. To adapt that Onion headline: Lesbian Gets Worst Job In Iceland.
@Eeva: And Iceland needs all the help it can get! That was the best Onion headline ever.
