The irony is strong in this story. Little Diana was the daughter of Harry Hopkins, the suspected Soviet spy who was clearly working for Soviet interests at the 1945 Yalta conference and strongly against Churchill. Hopkins enthusiastically supported, embraced, and carried out an accommodationist policy toward the Soviet in World War II and worked to undermine Roosevelt at Yalta.

Thank you for this post. And, I think it would be a great thing for people to see if this speech of Mr. Churchill’s is available on the internet. I have read it, and I had tears running down my face. So much honor and bravery he gave to a frightened nation. I may be the only person in the world who misses Mr. Churchill, but I do. God bless him and his legacy.

If you knew anything about robot physiology... you would realize that the antenna only comes out after the onset of puberty.

In my case, that was later in 1950 when I saw... Marilyn Monroe in The Asphalt Jungle.

From then on up until today, it is Katie... bar the door!

Oh yes, I’d forgotten about the robot puberty thing.
Back when you were just a young toaster.
Merry Christmas Bender.

Maybe you shouldn't have picked a hot 20 year old.

I remember the war years as a child, I had all sorts of toy soldiers, guns, bombing games, compressed saw dust tanks, boats and planes, clothes made to look like military uniforms, and that was here in the USA. Boys were raised to be men back then, not the metro sexual man boys of today.
