The best you can do is Polack jokes?

Thank you. I do know some of what the Polish forces did in WW II, and all I can say is that if another country has to watch our six, I want it to be them.

Yeah, that was pretty uncalled for.
You know they are starting to tell American jokes in Poland now?
How many Americans does it take to change a light bulb?
The punchline is "one".
It brings the house down everytime.

I presume that the Poles think (based on his war record, that he would have risen to Admiral had Poland not fallen to the Communists. the exiled Polish Navy acquitted itself very well during the Second World War.
From what I've been able to gather (from the Polish Wikipedia site, I don't read Polish but can find a warship name) he served aboard ORP Burza, ORP Krakowiak and ORP Piorun

Not only that, but Polish RAF pilots of the 303rd Kosciuszko Squadron were responsible for 1 out of every 6 kills during the Battle of Britain, the highest of any RAF Squadron.

The way we are headed with the Kenyan Idiot in charge, Poland looks better and better.

Please. Community organizers will never, ever change a light bulb. They want the government to send over someone to change the light bulb. Someone black, hispanic, gay, lesbian, transexual, transgender, and/or handicapped(preferably all of the above), who is also a member of a union.
Then they complain when the halfwit the government sends botches the job and sue the government.
