A Word About Icelandic Politics



If you haven't read this article in the New York Times, please do it! The fellow above, Jon Gnarr, started a political party called the Best Party. He calls it the best party because it is the best. He promises free towels in all public swimming pools, polar bears in zoos, and a drug-free parliament by 2020. That last one kills me.

And guess what? The Best Party won the mayorship of Reykjavik. He now says he won't appoint any person to any post unless they have watched all five seasons of the wire. What a guy! From the link above you can get to one of his political campaign commercials to the tune of Tina Turner's "The Best."

God bless 'em.
