This brave and righteous woman, Irena Sendler, lost out on a Nobel Prize to Algore. For that arrogant SOB Gore to smugly take the Nobel instead of graciously turning it down so Mrs. Sendler can much more deservedly accept it tells me more than ever that Gore is lower than whale sh!t. But then again ever since Yassir Arafart received one I’ve always thought the WWE championship belt has more legitimacy than the Nobel.
Wow, that was a Nobel Prize winning Smackdown!
On the more serious side though, Mrs Sendler passed away in 2008 at the age of 98. But at least she was recognized with some national awards in Poland and started to see some of the world recognition she deserved before she passed.
Of course, Pilecki, and so many of Poland’s heroes, ended up piled like garbage in unmarked graves.
