In Poland the Huffington Clon operates the other way around.

However it doesn’t really matter, because The Polish H. Clon isn’t even in the top 100.

School of Champions in Shooting Yourself in the Foot

Dear Leaders,

However it is dressed up by its Polish organizers, the ‘School of Leaders’ is a foreign Government financed training program for lobbyists who will conduct future operations within the United States and Canada in order to assist policy objectives of that Government. There is a gulf of difference between marching in an ethnic parade and enlisting as an influence agent trained by a foreign Government. It is timely to remind all American citizen participants that supplying political or public relations support to a foreign Government or other foreign principal is illegal in the US, unless done openly and under the terms of a mandatory DoJ registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). However you explain it, many years later, to unsmiling US government agents, individuals receiving political training and funding from a foreign Government are prima facie ineligible to hold a US Government security clearance. Ignorance of that fact of life has never been and will never be accepted as a valid excuse. A US Government security clearance is indispensable to anyone contemplating a career in hi-tech industries, defense, foreign affairs, some 20 Federal agencies and departments, and any and all other fields of endeavour with the slightest hint of being related to the national security of the United States. Anyone willing to invest heavily in his/her parents’ nostalgia for Poland, or wager his/her own career prospects on assurances (always verbal, never in writing) of the coolest of Poland’s spin doctors, is of course perfectly free to do so – at your own risk.

The School for Leaders

A Story

Kevin!

Kevin! Where are ya? Come over here. Your mom brought you these

clothes. Go ahead and put them on. We’re gonna go to the Polish church

and you’ll sit in the front row for this Polish Government delegation

that we should greet there.

Mom! What the hell is this? A pajama or what?

Calm down, Kevin. It’s a Cracoviak suit.

Yeah, but look at this stupid funny looking hat? Ain’t gonna put no

outfit like that on me, no frigging way mom! What will Jenny and Josh

say if they see me in this? Mom… why do we have to do stuff like that?

What’s wrong with us?

I promise you, this is gonna be the last time. See, I signed up for

this stupid leadership course in Poland. Your grandma was Polish and I

just thought I’ll see the place she came from and I’ll have a free

vacation in Poland. They paid for everything. But now, I guess, it’s

time to pay for my stupidity. Nothing’s free. They keep dragging me to

these meetings with these dumb Polish politicians and so on. Plus your

father has issues at work. They signed a contract for making something

for the government and his boss told him they’ve seen me meeting with

these politicians from Poland, so now they are afraid of giving your

dad a security clearance or something like that. See Kevin, we have to

move to the other city. They’ll transfer dad to their other plant for

less pay where they make something less important. Somewhere at the

East Coast or he can look for a job himself.

Oh no, mom! That’s too much! This shitty clothes and moving yet? I

won’t see my girlfriend Jenny anymore. Now, this is too much! I know

you asked me many times not to swear, but fuck this dumb Polish crap!

Fuck it!

Ok, ok, Kevin. They won’t find us after we move and we’ll be normal again. Put these clothes on…

Poland’s Culture Minister

Bogdan Zdrojewski, Poland’s minister of culture and national heritage, on his first visit to Los Angeles, decorated USC Thornton School of Music Dean Robert A. Cutietta with his country’s Gloria Artis medal on April 23. This prestigious award recognizes outstanding individuals for their contributions to Polish culture.

In his remarks to Cutietta, Zdrojewski summarized the longstanding relationship of the USC Thornton School and the Polish Music Center at USC and the dean’s leading role in promoting Polish music and culture in Southern California.
