I’m very sorry to see Christopher Hitchens go. I agreed with him on more things than I disagreed. I think the 9/11 attacks messed up his mind, but he was always interesting. He was a truly gifted writer. I enjoyed his writing more for its style and construction than its substance. Even though I think he was aggressively wrong about a lot of things, particularly later in life, I feel like we’re all poorer without him. I know he wasn’t religious and didn’t believe in the afterlife, but maybe he’s found an open bar in the sky. Yeah, probably not.
RIP, Hitch
