Silver linings
So Bush was so bad, the US was able to suck it up and elect a black president.
Now that Iceland has had a financial meltdown (and I remember those ads for Icelandic banks when I was living in England), they are going to appoint an out lesbian, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, as the caretaker prime minister until the next election. First openly gay head of government in the world. Yay.
So, yay for barriers being broken down in many places. (And yes, I realise these people were very much elected/appointed on their merits - facetiousness r us!)
