PolBlogcast: Polish Presidential Election Round #1 - Ringside with the Beatroot

Another PolBlogcast

From our sister site Polblog.pl:

In our continuing election series of PolBlogcasts, we turn again to the Beatroot for some Polish Presidential punditry. Coming off the heels of a closely watched and contested election, the two leading parties and their candidates stand alone as the sole choices for the Polish electorate. Round One turnout was underwhelming, but with such a slim margin and so much at stake, diseffected voters may just participate.

PolBlogcast: Poland's Car-nage

Another PolBlogcast

Just in from our sister site Polblog.pl:

In this PolBlogcast we discuss the sorry state of Polish driving. This was prompted by a number of high profile accidents, lately, a tragic bus crash, that left 11 children dead, and just yesterday a fatal accident involving Olympic swimming champion Otylia Jedrzejczak. And only last month a prominent Polish politican died in a car accident. And it's not only PolBlog that notices a problem, a fellow Warsaw blogger at the Warsaw Station asks the same general question we do, "What is going on?"

A Polish driving joke:
A guy was returning home from a cross country business trip. He'd spent many hours behind the wheel and wasn't paying much attention to driving drowsy. He turned on the radio, to keep himself awake -- there was a live report: 'A madman is driving against the traffic on a main road towards Warsaw' -- "ONE madman? I see HUNDREDS of them!" the guy commented irritatingly.
