hmm.

With his party having won 6 of the City Council’s 15 seats, Mr. Gnarr needed a coalition partner, but ruled out any party whose members had not seen all five seasons of “The Wire.”

London have a mayor like this, only he's meant to be serious.

Hahaha, my whole family got a good laugh from this. I wonder if expect him to uphold his promises or if they knew he was joking?

I love Iceland.

This is great. If you read on in the article, he's not quite joking about some of those campaign ideas. They're serious about it, and whether they meant to win or not, this should at least bring a lighter spirit to them after their recent economic crises.

That's amazing. I learned so much about politics from watching The Wire. Everyone should watch it.
