[Marxism] New Icelandic PM the first openly gay PM in the world

[S. Artesian]

Point taken.  Prior to prime ministership, she was formerly a flight 
attendant, organizer of the flight attendant's union, member of the 
social-democratic party, resigned her ministership, left the SD party, 
returned, and has been a minister in the government since 2007, and will now 
be Iceland's first female prime minister.

Somewhere in there there probably is a Goldman-Sachs connection, but that 
might just be more cynicism on my part.
