Marion Berry, Mayor for Life, has the Marion Berry Pie (sold by local Safeway grocery stores) named after him.

So it's not out of the question that he reads Shakespeare!

First you say all Polish people are weaklings, then you say it’s just Polish Americans,you tell me I’m a crybaby because my opinion of the Polish people differ from yours, and now you say I’m a liberal.

I’m sure you wouldn’t tell a polish man your first two opinions to his face. Your 3rd opinion is stupid and your 3rd opinion is wrong.

I think I’ll stand by my opinion.

I didn’t know they still existed.

I have gotten them on Washington Blvd. before, didn’t know they were still there.

Since my in-laws died I don’t get to Balmer much any more.
They lived in Elkridge.Long way from St. Mary’s County.

You just want to deal with the man like he was always a clown

Because that's what he is.

~ and that pretty much paints you with the brush of being a Washington Post troll.

And this, friends and neighbours, is why I have dismissed Mr/Miss/Mrs/Ms Muawiyah ... the poor soul is simply not living in reality.

'Bye, now.

Weaklings? I think NOT. The Polish people are among the strongest in the world, given the hell they’ve endured. I say this because of history, and not because I’m 100% Polish. All eight of my great grandparents were born in Poland. My father, is one of the biggest Polish joke tellers out there, but was raised before political correctness.

Maybe Democrats and blacks should start living by the rules they set forth.
