Le hasard favorise l'esprit prepare*

I saw Last Best Chance, a one-hour mini-movie staring Fred Thompson as the President of the United States facing the threat nuclear-armed Islamic terrorists, on HBO last night. The movie was produced by the Nuclear Threat Initiative to illustrate the very real possibility that terrorists will get their hands on - or make - nuclear weapons, and attempt to use them against the United States and other Western targets, and why the civilized world must act quickly to secure the world's stockpiles of nuclear weapons and weapons-grade materials. My biggest gripe: That Fred Thompson was only playing a fictional president, and isn't planning to run for the job for real. For more on the Nuclear Threat Initiative, visit LastBestChance.org. For a free DVD of the movie, click here.

C-Span was running a conference where Thompson was a guest speaker from back on 10/7 and the audience members kept trying to goad him into running.

He said something along the lines of "you have to be committed 100%" or to that effect.

There is no better speaker, who can think on his feet while articulating conservative principles, than Thompson for the Right.
