Christopher Hitchens died this past week. Although it’s a bit off-topic here, it’s hard for me not to mark the passing of such an extraordinary individual.
Hitchens possessed an untarnished intellectual brilliance coupled with a remarkable expressive talent; he was easily one of the most articulate and insightful essayists of the past century. Having said that, I think most of us will remember him for the force of his argument in many public speeches, and his fearless debating style against innumerable opponents.

Fair winds, Hitch.
Without you, this world is going to be a lot less fun.
