• Żeby dobry Bóg Polakowi dał takie cóś,co może sprawić aby drugim było tak samo!
  

  "Można być Polakiem i nie wstydzić się tego, tylko trzeba w Polaku zabić to co go czyni Polakiem stereotypowym, czyli zagonić do mydła, szkoły i uczciwej pracy, a nie do modlitwy o zgon krowy sąsiada i latania z bagnetem za Żydem, czy Niemcem."

  
  
  
• Trials of a Political Wife - The Opinionator - Opinion - New York Times Blog: "Anne Applebaum, the Washington Post columnist, is a political wife, married to Radek Sikorski, a Polish senator who has served as Poland’s defense minister and foreign-affairs minister (the post he now occupies). At Slate’s women-only blog, The XX Factor, Applebaum defends the common political-wife practice of “forced smiles, and say[ing] nothing.”
  
  “I can see one clear advantage to this option: It’s all over quickly,” she writes. “And no one asks you for a follow-up interview. You appear once ­and then you vanish forever, along with your husband’s career.”"

• The new Iron Curtain -- Economy, Business and Finance -- chicagotribune.com: "But here in Terespol, the border between Poland and Belarus still has a Cold War chill to it. The border on the Polish side may be smart, but on the Belarus side it consists of old-fashioned electrified fences, watchtowers and unsmiling guards.
  
  This was and still is Josef Stalin's border. At the start of World War II, the Soviet dictator grabbed a large chunk of eastern Poland, annexed it to Belarus and never gave it back. After the war, 2.35 million Poles living in this territory were resettled in northern and western Poland; about a million Poles remained.
  
  After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the communities along this border began to reknit. Cross-border trade started to flourish, nourishing the economy on both sides. Poland, with its eager embrace of Western Europe, was always going to be the richer of the two, but it was Belarus' extreme bad luck to fall into the political grasp of Alexander Lukashenko, a thuggish boss of the Soviet old school.
  
  Under Lukashenko, Europe's last dictator, the economy is stuck in reverse.
  
  'It's not hard to find a job at home, but it will only pay $100 a month. Even in Belarus, that's not enough to live on,' said Ludmilla, one of the women in the Terespol railway station."
