Some Reporting From Our Foreign Correspondent, Linda.

 Have I mentioned that, over New Year's, I went to Iceland?   Yes, I did.

Lots going on in Iceland.  The country is having a financial meltdown like ours, only worse. It was caused by the same thing that caused ours: greedy fat cats in the banking business and their enablers in the government.

However, in Iceland, it's not like here; people don't take such things lying down. Icelanders take to the streets. They've been holding protests for four months now.  This week, things came to a head.  Prime Minister Geir Haarde tendered his resignation.  So, know who's going to be the new PM?  Johanna Siguroardottir, a lesbian. (Pictured here.)  That's right, Iceland is going to have the first openly lesbian head of government anywhere in the world.
