Default Christopher Hitchens is one of the best intellectuals the Western World has.

For those of you who aren't aware, Christopher Hitchens is a renowned journalist, author, contrarian, activist and atheist. He's brilliant. A lot has been posted all around Nubblies by either Repug or myself, and I know that some of you have read at least one of his books.

Last summer, Hitch was diagnosed with esophageal cancer around the same time he released his personal memoir, Hitch-22.

In any case, this thread is in the name of consolidation and hoping he doesn't die anytime soon. His intellect is still razor sharp even though he has what seems to be terminal cancer and is undergoing regular chemotherapy. And sometimes I don't want to read because i'm slightly tired.

Here is his latest interview and article:
