Guest wake Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I regularly keep up to date with his writing. He's canceled future events citing his health, and hasn't written anything in a couple weeks. Things are looking bleak. http://www.dailyhitchens.com/2011/03/hitchens-dsouza-debate-canceled.html Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/64725-christopher-hitchens/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Iain C Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 it's a terrible shame really - i don't always agree with everything he writes, but he's a compelling, eloquent and incredibly intelligent writer. he'll be sadly missed. i've got to read that autobiography...

Guest jim Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Never liked the guy. His smarmy voice, the tone of his writings (and often their content), his fawning idiot fans.

IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!
