HITCHENS
I heard this story about Christopher Hitchens on the radio this morning (it was either NPR or C-SPAN, to which I turned after getting annoyed with the NPR fundraising blather). Hitchens is easily my favorite Leftist iconoclast, not only because of his sheer brilliance but because of his brutal honesty. He’s not afraid to skewer those on the Left or the Right that offend his sensibilities.
