“CIA can neither ‘confirm nor deny’ existence of 3I/ATLAS file” (NY Post)
⁂
How does the day begin for a Frenchman?
With the question, What will I eat today?
And for a Pole?
With a race to the window, to see if the car was stolen.
And how does a Russian begin the day?
With a needle and thread, transferring medals from his pajamas to his suit jacket.
A history teacher spent several days with her young pupils on the Great National Insurrection of 1830.
“Tell me,” she asks little Johnny. “What do you know of the Great Insurrection.”
“Well,” replies little Johnny, scratching his head, “all I can say is that it will happen soon, ‘cos that’s all everyone talks about at home.”
(Note: It eventually happened. Poland is no longer under Russia’s grip. And the Poles—fiercely independent and protected by NATO— will not be allowing that to happen again.)
