Several years ago, David sent me a great article about this. I was just browsing Wikipedia and stumbled on the story. There was much more detail in the article David found, but that was in print, not online. If I can find it online I'll throw in another link.
Until then, please enjoy...
Kulkas in History
Edit: Found the article that David sent me. (You really can find anything online.) This one's pretty long, but it's an interesting read. If you don't have time right now, read the Wikipedia entry above for now, and come back later for this one.
A Perfectly Understandable Mistake
-MK
A gathering place for Kulkas and those who were once Kulkas but due to unfortunate circumstances have had to accept life's curve ball and begin going by some other name.

And I thought AKulka might want to change her name! I read the longer entry, which made the episode clear and understandable. But ye gods, what a reputation to carry around the rest of your life.
Thanks for finding it. Are you still Uncle Matt, or did you change that?
After I read Uncle Matt's post, I went to search for " Kulka hero"and "Kulka heroine" on the internet. I found nothing except "The Forgotten Hero - George Bush" from Emily Kulka. I guess this is not our eesmall. http://www.yourtruehero.org/content/hero/view_hero.asp?39999
actually, that is me. Wrote that freshman year of college - wow.
Nice article Uncle Matt - what a crazy story! the shorter article almost sounds like some kind of bad joke - I keep waiting for the punch line.
May i ask, dear eesmall, has your opinion of George Bush altered any since your freshman year of college? And don't worry about provoking a political ciscussion. We are family and always supportive of each other, rarely resorting to fisticuffs. Right?
Well...
I will say this, and just this. I think that it must have been an incredibly horrific and stressful (to put it mildly) time to be the Presedent of the US during 911. I respect Bush for being that man. It bothers me greatly when people forget about that crazy day, and are all too quick to point fingers when things aren't going their way. As far as I am concerned, you can love or government or hate it, but just be VERY greatful that you are allowed to feel either way. We are so fortunate that we can place bumper stickers, host web sites, have tv talk shows, and conventions on all thoughts of life or feelings of the Presedent, without fear. Regardless of whether or not one feels our Americans should be fighting in other countries, the fact of the matter is, some of them are right now. Even if they wouldn't have chosen to go to war, they still go to protect our freedom, and I am proud. Maybe its because I live in San Diego and I see those troups - and their families that they leave behind - everyday.
I guess all that is to say I support our country, our military, and our freedom, and I am grateful that I can feel any way I want to. I know not everyone is on the same side politicaly speaking, but I would just like to think that we all just want to show our support in one form or another.
And thats all I have to say about that.
I think that even in disagreement, some ageement can be found. Neill and I, too, are deeply concerned about the welfare of the troops.
And my travels abroad certainly taught me how lucky we are to live in a country where it is not a criminal offense to express our opinions. As a good Republican friend of mine said, In the end we are all trying to solve the same problems, it is just that we favor different methods.
I am concerned that American troops have become the targets of dissatisfied people in Iraq. As one group is fighting another there, I would call the conflict a civil war. I don't see how our troops can solve this civil problem between two warring factions.
In the end, what we both seem to want is a cessation of the dreadful killing in Iraq. I think we seem to differ on how that is accomplished.
Whoa - who knew we would get so serious in this blog?
