The Gazette (Montreal, Que.):
Comedian new mayor of Iceland's capital
The cheeky new Best Party headed by a comedian won Reykjavik city polls, results showed Sunday, highlighting discontent with politicians blamed for wrecking Iceland's economy.
The party -- whose leader campaigned on free towels in all city swimming pools, a polar bear for the zoo and cleaning up politics -- took 34.7 percent of Saturday's vote in a shock defeat for traditional political parties.
If this is the case, perhaps I should run to be Mayor of Orlando. I'll propose a Platform with the sole policy of annexing Tampa or something of the sort. If this is any example, I've got a chance, right?
:p:

Glendalais, you can have the Orlando Mayor position (or if you want to be really ambitious, how about "Orange County Mayor"? (Why does a county have a mayor? Shouldn't it be a County Administrator or something?))
Personally, I want to be the Mayor of Bay Lake.

Yeah, that's nuts. I don't understand it either. Mayors run cities and towns, not counties.

I'd vote for you and Glendalais!

Up here, we have county freeholders...I think there are five - I hate to say it, but they really don't make any important decisions and are just there for window dressing.
