When a local Churchill society started up a few years ago I went to the

asked to say grace.Later I e-mailed the President and asked, “What has
grace got to do with Winston Churchill?”I then posted the question on an

Ironically, Winston Churchill would have been widely regarded as something akin
to a political terrorist by the rank and file members, and certainly by the
executive, of his own Conservative Party during the abdication crisis,
appeasement, rearmament of Britain, and independence for India. He

The link for this quote about Margaret Thatcher doesn't seem to work so I
wasn't able to determine who said it. It has a kind of Churchillian flourish
and tone to it but it strikes me as pure hyperbole. I don't see how Margaret
Thatcher could be seen as any more of a help and comfort to
There is a bit of a parallel between telegrams of the late-nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries and Twitter messages of today. The Twitter message has
developed various contracted forms of words and phrases because the message is

A couple of weeks ago I saw the movie, The King's Speech, and enjoyed it.
However, there is a moment where Churchill mentions to George VI that he too

After seeing books about Churchill titled Warlord and Winston Churchill:
Soldier, it might surprise many people to learn how much effort Churchill
devoted to peace, reconciliation, and human welfare. He thought that freedom

I think that Churchill probably felt that the turning points of WWII were:
a) his ascendancy to Prime Minister, e.g. I felt as if I was walking with
destiny...; and, b) Hitler's declaration of war against the United States
after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Churchill may have slept the sleep
If I'm not mistaken, John Lennon's middle name was originally 'Winston' - named
after WSC. I haven't verified this, but I believe that he may have had it

doesn't necessarily mean that he hated Winston Churchill.

apparently tied to the 2012 Special Olympics. There's nothing wrong with that
other than the fact that Churchill has no direct connection to this event while
many other notables do. Churchill's image could have been
A concluding sentence in the Washington Times article states: Dissenting
with honesty, ferocity and courage is one of Churchill's lessons to us
today. I think that 'ferocity' wrongly characterizes Churchill's approach
to public debate, and I think that 'passion' is a better substitute.
