Harry, you told us how little you cared about the Olympics, and then started praising the socialist Fins for their hockey prowess. Either you care or you don't. Try to be a little bit consistent, or people won't trust your story much. BTW, you did notice that almost all the Fins were professional hockey players - many of them right here in the good old USA. Eh? |
