OK, I know this is important (and for Poland, tragic) news, but do we really have to have three threads related to it?

We've had more threads on the shaving of balls. It's fine.

Well, that took the pis out of Polish politics in a hurry.

I am not familiar with the exact situation, but such a tragedy could actually improve PiS' standings. New leadership and a topic that would bring tears and pity votes...

Polish Prime Minister announced he is going to fly to the site of the crash to investigate. :frusty:

In other news, the Russian President is going to send a televised speech to Polish people.

My guess on the opening words:

"People of Poland. Resistance is futile."

I don't think so. First of all, unless Jaroslaw (the other twin, who is the leader of the party and was the "bad cop" to Lech's "good cop") retires, there will be no change of leadership and he is pretty much unelectable (he has a very "hard core" electorate, which guarantees he will always be at least second when it comes to Parliamentary elections, but he is so hated by everybody else, he won't ever get majority required to win Presidential elections).

A 747 recently crashed in a cemetery in Poland.

Polish officials have so far retrieved 4000 bodies.

I'm pretty sure this was the fastest this board has given in to gallows humor during a tragedy, btw.  The fact that it was Poles affected probably helped a whole lot.

The worst thing about this tragedy is that the irony of it all is so obvious that it kind of cramps your style in making a joke.  Good luck trying to think of a joke about the Polish elite dying in Russia again that wasn't already obvious to everyone who first read this story.
