...and drunk. But I take some pride in being drunk in a good cause.
Christopher Hitchens has just been diagnosed with cancer.
I know there are many here who have parted ways with Christopher over his support for the Iraq War. I am one of them. But I hope there are many more who recognize that despite our many and varied disagreements, Christopher Hitchens was (and is) a sharp and brilliant voice from the Left on many issues.
I don't need to agree with someone on every point in order to respect and admire them.
Again, as I said, I am drunk. So I will belabor the point no further. I close with a video, and hope to join fellow commiserators in the comments.
