Adios Christopher Hitchens

It is a sad day today.

"Christopher Hitchens—the incomparable critic, masterful rhetorician, fiery wit, and fearless bon vivant—died today at the age of 62. Hitchens was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in the spring of 2010, just after the publication of his memoir, Hitch-22, and began chemotherapy soon after. " - www.dailyhitchens.com

A debater without equals, a writer with extraordinary range of interests, an intellectual power house has faded into the mists of time. Good bye, Hitchens. Your message and your exhortations will live on.
