But worth a read- What may be one of Christopher Hitchens last writings.

The only thing that's sad is that he's written as much as he has.
GO CANCER!!!
Heh, what's your beef with Hitchens?
He's always struck me as a pretty admirable guy, and a lot more interesting then dorkens.
He's the real-life version of Prothero from V for Vendetta.
I really don't see any resemblance in any sense, care to elaborate?
I do, but you'll have to wait until I've cleaned the galley and had my morning nap, because I'd like to give you some links and something more thoughtful than one-liners.
there was a point in his career where I liked his writing, but that was over years ago. I'll give you my thoughts in-depth after lunch.
Also, as much as I've come to abhor his views I don't really want him to die from cancer. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.
I'm really not into his preemptive nuking of the middle east strategy, among others. Strikes me as a little monster-ish, if you know what I mean. Just a little bit.
His views on religion are great. But his views on stuff that matters kinda bug me.
He is a good writer and debater, but I find his views too dogmatically seasoned for my tastes. Not as bad as Dawkins who seems to suffer from talking about topics he's not an expert in... but still not really skeptical.

You could somewhat defend his more crazy views but saying, "he's probably just drunk. again."
Personally, never been much of a Hitchens fan and disagree with him probably more then I agree (some of views on Muslims are narrow and slightly dangerous) though I enjoy reading and watching him cause he's entertaining.
