What can I say...great article...and right to the point Nathan...Good job!

The horrific prospect opens up a world of nuclear anarchy, where any feud between countries could degenerate into a death warrant for the entire planet.

Metaphor alert. What sort of thing degenerates into a warrant?

And isn't this a brilliant argument for missile defense?

[KLT]

OH yes...brilliant isn't it? Just leave Hollywood unprotected...they don't deserve it...except for maybe a few, a very few...

[Burkeman1]

Nathan Porter (like Ann Coulter) should be strapped to a desk and made to write a column every day! I love his stuff!

[KLT]

Me too Burkeman....I think Nathan is a genius...he may debate that.

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you for the thread and the ping KLT.

[KLT]

Anytime Snow Bunny...Hope all is well...

I take this guys bet against Douglas becoming President. When would he finally pay off, on Douglas' death? I could borrow a billion dollars and collect the profit.

[KLT]

Oh yes....a billion sounds good! I'll drink to that...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

A good one!

Thanks for posting the piece!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

[driftless]

I'm always amused when blowhard puffed-up celebrities like Douglas seek (and often get) a forum for which to reveal their naivete and ignorance to the world. They may want to "save the world", but who will save us from them?

[KLT]

Wow, well put driftless....who will save us from them and their stupid lib values, that are destroying this country...

[KLT]

Yes, Ernest...leave it to Nathan Porter to tell it just like it is....

[KLT]

You're very welcome Alamo-Girl....I thought this was a great piece...

"Despite spending most of their time fretting over whether Tony sniffs George's ass too much or whether Tony gives it to Cherie too much or whether Charles or Wills will be the next Queen of England, they still have time to focus on the absurd."

HA!!
Only NormL ("Firehat") could've even begun to equal this.
Simply fabulous.

"Now I get it. Dubya is just a hackneyed bum-pimple who's only rehearsal for the presidency was sticking a fork in Ann Richards. But Douglas, now there's the American president Europe longs to see. And why not, Douglas lives in the same brain-dead, feel-good, freedom-ain't-worth-defending world as most Europeans."

Kar?
This sure ain't *parody*, young Lady.
This, is some pretty damned good & scathing writing; all, based upon fact after fact, after fact.
This person is deserving of the title, "Journalist" -- if ever one did.

"United Nations Messenger of Bullshit seems a more appropriate title."

hehehe...calls a spade a spade now, doesn't he?
(*Big* points racked-up here...)

"Joining Douglas as advisors to the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation are Ted Turner and Gerry Spence. Are you getting the picture?"

Yea; sure am.
But...where's the "Bloaviated One," Alec Baldwin's name??
Same could be asked about not seeing Tim Robbins & Jessica whatshername in that cast of characters.
Sorry Angel, I'm simply *compelled* to jump-in & ask a few "hard-hitting" questions of my *own*, today. :o)

"I just hope that when we do get our missile defense shield in place we can find a way to leave Michael Douglas unprotected, so that when the missiles come, this no-nuke puke can fully enjoy the fruits of his labor."

Jolly-good idea, IMO.
Buttttt...the world doesn't work like that, anymore.
Justice it appears has [increasingly] eluded those most deserving; while, the innocent are made to pay in any of a myriad of ways.
No...
Methinks getting "screwed" has become much more the *norm* these days to ever witnessing any "justice" being metted out. (~ain't that so, Mud?)

Personally?
Alhough I demand knowing the truth 100% of the time -- good, bad, indifferent, pro or con -- I find it very difficult to find any *humor* in that recent fact, too.

"God bless those Brits (love them,hate them)."

That's it in a nutshell, alright; "Love-Hate."
The swinging gate of my life. {g}

...this time, though; ya just gotta love the *conservative* Brits.

[KLT]

Now was this on the money or what? Good old Nathan is brilliant...Isn't he?

Love to all

well, I have to admit, I'd like the prospect of Catherine Zeta-Jones as first lady, but then I'm a sucker for a dark haired beauty, even if she doesn't have the sense to marry someone born in her century
