I'll prologue this "contract"with a quote from the British tabloid:"The Devil's Audience"

"The queen of punk Julie Burchill, in her first interview since going into self-imposed exile, rails against 'Swinging' London, the Blairs, the Germans and the New Age nineties. She tearfully tells of her loves, her 'lesbianism' and why she will never find a man to match her Dad." I really don't think i can improve on the profile of this individual of the feminine gende.
Firstly this "journalist" is mega-political, so right there she's all sKewed-up, and well, sounds to me, "Austrwalian," not that's there's anything wrong with that.......but she just does NOT "get" Martin Amis, or any kind of subtlety for that matter. Then of course, she has to write something snide she thinks: "clever" to live up to her self-attributed moniker.. etc, etc,
In defense of Mr Amis willing to murder his entire family in the event of an all out nuclear war (that's pronounced "nuc'lear," NOT "nuk'u'lar," Aaron), I quote from a review by John Updike of *Time's Arrow*("The New Yorker"-5/25/92) (Amis writes): "Like all nuclear war-fighters he (sic/Robert Jastrow)s, I contend, subhuman, like all the 'prevailers.' The unthinkable is not thinkable, not by human beings, because the eventuality it posits is one in which all human contexts would have already vanished."
Therfore, "in this context of no context" to murder one's wife and children would be a coup de gråce, and, personally for me, a courageous act of kindness, not to mention valor and grace.
As far as Ms.Burchett, she will never "get it." Not even if and when she were to be "nuked" and to expire in a painfully slow death from the ashen radiation of liquidated huamnity.
sincerley yours, julie clinch
