America loves to Polish joke with derission because they make good targets

From the Polish point of view, its a whole lot better being on the recieving end of mindless jokes in America then it is being on the recieving end of a tyrants sword in Europe. As far as needing a champion, you seem to forget that one of Polands Nobleman sacrificed his wealth and his life being a champion for our country in its time of need. Look up Casimir Pulaski, the 'Father of the American Cavalry'. We Poles can wait for you to 'catch on'.

Don't forget Kosciuszko. And thanks to King Jan Sobieski, Europe isn't Muslim, and thanks to Sikorski, Europe isn't Bolshevik.

I think the Polish joke died as a genre when Archie Bunker left the airwaves and was replaced by Lech Walesa and Karol Wojtyla. Men who stood against the might of the Soviet empire armed only with a flag, a slogan, and their faith aren't good humor material, they're heroes.

Pulaski, NY was named after him. I think there's a statue of him someplace in New Hartford. M
