It’s awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it’s another thing.

Warszawę opanowały Smerfy.
P
od biurem Andrzeja Leppera powstał ołtarzyk i wiszą hasła o obronie krzyża.
Które z powyższych wydarzeń nosi większe znamiona absurdu?

Warsaw has been dominated by the Smurfs.
Now, near the old office of Andrzej Lepper--a controversial Polish politician, former Parliament vice-chairman and a father of populist “Samoobrona” (“Self-Defence”) party--who recently committed a suicide, a kind of an altar has been created. It’s surrounded by slogans saying “Protect the Holy Cross”. But Lepper’s party was rather a left-wing one.
What’s more riddiculous then, the former or the latter?
