| mburbank | One, but the statue looks more like jillions of paint splatters. |

Isn't it "pollacks"? anyway, as long as it's a large one, and as long as he has one arm raised, pointing east, I don't see the problem. |

How many Pollocks does it take to build a statue of Reagan? Polish admirers of Ronald Reagan plan to raise a statue of the former U.S president in Warsaw, where he is revered for his role in the downfall of communism in Europe. The 3.5-meter (3.8-yard) stone-and-bronze statue will stand across from the U.S. Embassy, the head of the group raising money for the memorial said on Monday. The group includes Poles living in Poland, Canada and the United States. "Reagan was the person who defeated the communists and opened the way for freedom in Poland," Janusz Dorosiewicz said. "The statue is a way for his legacy to live on." Many Poles credit staunch anti-communist Reagan with helping the anti-communist movement in eastern Europe. In 1989, Poland became the first country in the region to shake off communism. The group plans to unveil the Reagan statue on in 2007 on July 4 -- the U.S. Independence Day. source: reuters I just know there has GOT to be a polish joke here somewhere. |
