Austria has elected a new president - Heinz Fischer.
I don't know anything about him, really. But I read something interesting about the other main candidate. Benita Ferrero-Waldner gathered up 47.59% of the votes, but it wasn't enough as Fischer brought in 52.4%. During the campaign, Ms. Ferrero-Waldner (yes, Miss) stopped in the southern province/state of Carinthia where Joerg Haider is governor. Maybe you've heard of him. As a supporter of Ferrero-Waldner, Haider presented her with a live pig as a good luck gift.
Odd, strange? Seems that way to me - and I just hope he wasn't trying to hint at her hygiene or eating habits. :)
