C. E. Hitchens

A plethora of topics, events, and discussion points to report upon come gushing forth in droves as soon as I unlock the door to my cobwebbed blog account. Where to start? Well, our maestro, Christopher Hitchens is, as you can probably tell, quite an impressionable fellow, so much so that some even appear to adore him more than I, dare I say, we do. YouTube accounts set up in his name have sprung forth, unfurling archives of wonderment that we may have never known existed were it not for the Internet generation. Kill a few hours by going direct to this page, engrossing yourself in the archives of this long-standing admirer. For a quick hit to keep you in check for the start of September, see this vintage clip of Hitchens locking horns with a Republican journalist in 1988. Watch patiently until the eighth minute in which our hero proves why he's been a figure of such controversy long before the publication of god is not Great. Further, for additional gratuitous humour, watch Hitchens don a leather jacket, cast off the issues at hand, and perform a ten minute stand-up set in Washington: a must for us Hitchenites.
