There are no Polack jokes in Poland. BTW, pollock is a kind of fish. The word “Polak” means Pole in Polish.
I just bet you laughed at racial jokes, too. You just don’t get it, do you?
No matter how funny a joke it, it can be terribly insulting to the people who are the butts of those jokes. No matter how many people laugh at them. How about jokes about crippled people or the retarded? Those can be funny, too.

Yeah, the krauts, commies, and dagos haven’t ever suffered any kind of discrimination or evil jokes. Neither have the micks (like me) or in fact limeys (aka sassenachs) or frogs. Or yanks, for that matter.
Now that we have got it out of our systems that all sorts of people can make inappropriate jokes about all sorts of other people, let’s move on.
If I sound a little tetchy, it’s because the person who posted the original joke made me agree with Rich (that it shoudn’t have been made), and agreeing with Rich makes me uncomfortable.

How about sending them a good "Amos 'n Andy joke, too. They’ll laugh their heads off about how dumb the Kingfish and that kind of people are.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.If I sound a little tetchy, it’s because the person who posted the original joke made me agree with Rich (that it shoudn’t have been made), and **agreeing with Rich **makes me uncomfortable.

Mais qui est-ce, ils sont les Alsaciens, n’est-ce pas? Allemandes, vraiment. Elsassers.This gratuitous bashing of the French is one of the most uncharitable posts I’ve seen in a long time.I happen to be the daughter of a French citizen (now American). My mother’s entire family still lives there. Her brother, my uncle, was a priest who was incarcerated in a Nazi prison camp during WWII for being a priest.
My cousins all take baths every single day. They wash their hair every day, and they use deodorant. So do all their friends. One of my cousins teaches English in a Catholic school, which is, by the way paid for by the French taxpayers.
My cousin loves the USA so much, she comes twice a year. Once to visit and travel, and the other to bring her students in an exchange program she started with CATHOLIC high schools in the St Louis area. She brings along fellow teachers. She brings her husband and son, who love the USA too. Her son loves to do WWII military enactments. American ones. They celebrate D-day in American uniform (along with a bottle of fine French wine).
They do have potable water, but, like in Germany, they are used to drinking mineral water.
When our students go to France, they are welcomed by and put up by families in Chartres where she teaches. I have never met such a generous people.
The only nasty remark I heard out of any of the teachers was, “There sure are a lot of obese people in the US.”
Back to our regularly scheduled program.
(Joking. Couldn’t resist. Les grandparents de ma femme sont Alsacien.)

He just picked Bush’s general. I actually LOL’d when they announced it.
I guess Bush did know what he was doing after all…

Sorry, folks, for some reason, I cannot edit the offending post. Please accept my apology.
While most Americans are aware of Lafayette’s contribution to American freedom, few have heard of Casimir Pulaski, or his contributions.
In the Glorious People’s Republik of Illinois, his birthday is a state holiday.

Let me tell you a story:
Late one night at work, years ago, I was posting Union Dues-and needed to change the paper in the printer. Big boxes of fan-folded paper on wheeled dollies. I came across the cord of the Janitor, who was vacuuming behind me. I was in a dress and heels. I wrestled with that thing sliding off as I got one wheel over the cord, a second, third, and finally the fourth wheel over the electrical cord. I sat down in my chair and looked at him, as he stood there with his arms crossed. I said: What? He said: All you had to do was take the cord and throw it over.
I’m a Pollock! I hope someone gets a laugh. I did.
(I’m still laughing at the dynamite joke! So is my Dutch/English-Methodist husband)
God Bless.

I’m sorry but I find this just too funny. So president O’Bama isn’t left wing at all in his ideaology? I would contend he’s the most left wing president we’ve ever had. I think his voting record as a senator might prove this adequately, just maybe.
I too find it really amusing that O’Bama selected General Petraeus as McChrystal’s replacement. I can here the moveon.org crowd collectively going, “noooooooooo!”. Though of course they’ll never let it be known publicly though how they feel now.
Somehow I doubt though that we’re going to see a large campaign by them against the good General now though, or a large movement to vote out president O’Bama come next election.
As an earlier poster said, “got hypocrisy?”

Bien sûr, il fait partie de la France.
Je n’ai jamais visité la France, mais j’aime les Français et toutes les choses françaises, surtout la nourriture! Les Français ont toujours été des amis de la Pologne et les Polonais sont éternellement reconnaissants. Vive la France! Niech żyje Polska!
(S’il vous plaît excuser mon mauvais français. Je parle couramment polonais, mais mon français est comme si, comme ça.)
