Everyone on my Christmas list is getting a bottle of Finnish Vodka this year.

I remember in my (ill spent) youth, one could buy a Finnish 20 mm anti tank rifle for $99.00, cartridges were a buck each....

Alas, did I think to buy one?

Eleanor Roosevelt STILL makes the lists of most admired women in modern American history because there's always commie women in this country who keep her torch lit in generation after generation.

To me, this busy-body red mole in the FDR White House should be better known as the patron saint of all the butt-ugly liberal women whose bitter, haggish faces pollute our political scene and TV screens today.

I suspect that things are not going quite so well for the Finns on the Mannerheim Line as the article suggests. If you read the account of the volume of Soviet artillery, it’s pretty apparent that they are working over the decisive area with saturation fire, one pre-planned sector at a time.

We’ve also in recent days seen accounts that the Finnish forces are suffering from exhaustion from constant combat, and their own less numerous artillery suffers from ammunition shortages. While I’m certain they are continuing to inflict heavy casualties on the attacking Red, they are being ground down.
