A chacteristic feature of Ukrisanian is the "-ty" infinitive ending. My late dziadek, a great jokester and yarn-spinner, once recited this naughty bit of verse in what he said was Ukrainian:
Perdyty i sraty, trawy sie trymaty.
Trawa sie porwała,

If the charge is true, PiS would do best to dump the bloke. If they want to be good and consistent anti-communists then no exceptions should be made. But commie prosecutors, judges, SB and other colloborators now in other parties who prosecuted or persecuted freedom-fighters, Solidarity activsts and other Polish patriots should also be exposed and dumped.

Never heard of him but there were entire hordes of stalinsit prosecutors besides Michnik and your Świątkowski serving the Soviet occupation forces. Michnik
sent over a dozen patriotic Poels to their death on trumped-up charges in rigged show trials.
Prof. Guglewski (Google) said he laucnehd an investihgatipon to prove that thre nazis were to blame for Kaytń. As justice min. he may have penalised some freedom-fighters but that is not mentioned by wiki. Any reason why you singled him out? Probably the Pilecki connection.

Stefan Michnik (Adam's half-brother), who has Polish blood on his hands as a former Stalinist judge and desk-top murderer, supports KOD. "I want to suppoort the activities of the Committee in Defence of Democracy. Action is needed and more needs to be done. The PiS government must be overthrown," he told a reporter recently. For years he has been a fugitive from Polish justice, protected by Sweden's refusal to extradite him.

It seems KOD supporters include a motley collection of misfits. One claims the SB guys who didn't hand in their service pistols would be out gunning for Kaczyński. Another said he would disrupt the Smolensk commemoration and kept his word, Yet another claims martial law was carried out in a "cultured" manner. Then there's Wałęsa who wants to defenestrate the PiS government by helping them jump out of the government building's upper-storey windows. What woodwork did these creeps crawl out of anyway?!

Perhaps you have noticed that the translators of film subtitles from English to Polish translate "is there a bathroom around here?" as "czy jest tu jakaś łazienka?" when the asker is on a public street or in an office building or station and obviously does not want to have a bath. That Americanism is also creeping into Polish-made films and soap operas, where someone feeling the urge asks aboot a "łazienka". In Ameirca the euphemism has gone so far that kids will say: "Our puppy went to the bathroom on the living-room rug."

One KOD activist from Łódź, Mirosław Mrożewski, is calling on former PRL officers who hadn't handed in their handguns to back him and give PiS the business of 13 December. Łódź is where some loon shot dead a PiS activist at the party's HQ. That's also where Palikot (like a Luther wannabe) nailed his Act of Apostasy to the door of one of the local churches, making sure a TV crew was on hand ready to roll. In America they say California is like a breakfast cereal -- take away the fruits and nuts and only the flakes are left. And to think Łódź, back when it was a film-making centre, used to be called Hollyłódź! Wonder if there's any connection?!

Makes sense. Atlantic-wind-swept Portugal, Ireland and Scotland, plus the absence of too much heavy industry seems to be the answer. Poland, esp. the south, is in an area where valleys create an air-inversion problem which does not allow pollutants to escape and combined with valley fog creates unbearable, oftne eye-stinging smog. Małopolska (Kraków and environs) and Silesia are especially hard hit.

Although the credibiltiy of anything published in what Polish patriotic circles call "the Polish-language newspaper GW", worth thinking about nevertheless is the information/allegation that Poland's benzopyrene pollution exceeds the WHO's admissible level 40 times over. A map shows Poland mostly in red. The cleanest air in terms of canceriferous benzopyrene (shown in green) is found in Portugal, parts of northern Spain, Eire and Scotland.
Anyone know why that is the case? What type of human activity generates that pollutant?

There is a difference between genuine culture and the artificially manufactured pop culture created in corporate boardrooms and on computer drawing boards for one purpose alone: to fleece the public and rake in maximum profits regardless of the socio-cultural and ethical consequences.
There are two major strains of American culture as exemplified by the neighbourly barn-raising and the snake-oil pedlar.
Building a large barn was beyond the ability of a single farmer but when his neighbours arrived they got the job done in no time. He then also pitched in when someone else was building a barn. That example reflects community spirit, cooperation for the common good and the localness of many American instituions and arrangements which stand in marked contrast to the centralism of many other countries. That is reflected today by i.a. popular votes on school taxes and local ordiannces as well as ommunity carolling in the town square and greeting a new neighbour with home-made cakes and other delicacies.
The other approach is circus mogul JT Barnum's famous saying: "There's a sucker born every minute." That is the America of quack remedies, mega-commercialism, outrageous advertising claims (double your money back if not completely satisfied! -- but try to get it!), cheap and tacky but addictive pop culture and the ongoing commercialisaiton of the individual: "Just reach for your credit card and leave the rest to us!"

The pension cut did not affect all uniformed services, let alone PhD holders and professionals. Such suggestions are part of the KOD/PO scare tactics being used in defence of their once cushy status quo.

"Traitors can be stripped of their general's epaulettes even posthumously," he wrote.

The former had risked his life and that of his fmnaiuly to undertake a patriotic mission that contributed to the fall of the Evil Empire.

His latest ploy to keep himself in the limelight is an open letter calling on police, armed forces and other occupational groups to cease obeying Poland's democratically elected government and stage demos in cities across the land to mark the 35th anniversary of Jaruzelski's declaration of martial law. "The day has arrived to refuse obeying the authorities. On 13th Decmeber we will take to the streets of cities and towns across and show we do not agree to the destruction of Poland," Kijowski urged.
