Yeah...that is sad.  I didn't even know he was in town.

I would have liked to say "Hello...and Thanks".

The man was a giant. I'll always remember him as such.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

"So this is where all the vapid talk about the 'soul' of the universe is actually headed. Once the hard-won principles of reason and science have been discredited, the world will not pass into the hands of credulous herbivores who keep crystals by their sides and swoon over the poems of Khalil Gibran. The 'vacuum' will be invaded instead by determined fundamentalists of every stripe who already know the truth by means of revelation and who actually seek real and serious power in the here and now. One thinks of the painstaking, cloud-dispelling labor of British scientists from Isaac Newton to Joseph Priestley to Charles Darwin to Ernest Rutherford to Alan Turing and Francis Crick, much of it built upon the shoulders of Galileo and Copernicus, only to see it casually slandered by a moral and intellectual weakling from the usurping House of Hanover. An awful embarrassment awaits the British if they do not declare for a republic based on verifiable laws and principles, both political and scientific."

- Christopher Hitchens

Shame, he was a fun bloke to watch.

I wonder if he repented in the end.

Not the god's great thing, I mean the tobacco is bad thing.

It's a sad day indeed. I'll be having a drink tonight in memory of him.

See ya Hitch.

Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011)

Ivy is a staunch atheist and is worth a read.

When one sleeps on the floor one need not worry about falling out of bed - Anton LaVey

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

If there is no god the world has lost a great character.
If there is a god I wouldn't like to be in his/her/its shoes right now!

You know if Christopher Hitchins were resurrected then I'd become a believer!

There you go god, accept my challenge!
