In a protest vote, a comedian, Jon Gnarr, just got elected mayor of Reykjakic, Iceland, where one third of all Icelandic people live.
His platform was strong and decisive. He promised free towels for all public swimming pools, a polar bear for the zoo, and best of all, "a drug free Parliament by 2020." ()
He only got 34.7% of the vote and his party, yes, the Best Party, only won 6 of the 15 City Council seats, so he needed a coalition partner but rejected the members of any party who hadn't watched all 5 seasons of "The Wire." :hmm:
In his acceptance speech, he said, No one has to be afraid of the Best Party, he said, because it is the best party. If it wasnt, it would be called the Worst Party or the Bad Party. We would never work with a party like that. :awe:
He's not kidding.
Just because something is funny doesnt mean it isnt serious, said Mr. Gnarr, whose foreign relations experience includes a radio show in which he regularly crank-called the White House, the C.I.A., the F.B.I. and police stations in the Bronx to see if they had found his lost wallet.
There really is some method to his madness. Read the article and see.
