This is all over the web, but I want to celebrate anyway.
Johanna Sigurdardottir speaking in the Icelandic Parliament
As I said elsewhere in blogspace today, ah, the sweet smell of rationality . . . .
She is being appointed Prime Minister after the previous government imploded, caught in the worldwide banking collapse. If you read the linked article [1], you’ll see that the Icelanders care about her qualifications. The femaleness and the gayness that has the rest of the world in a froth are footnotes to them. Why can’t we be like that? Why can’t everyone be like that?
