Hmm. I admit to not knowing much about Hitchens but his name.
But I admit, I watched him completely evicerate Galloway in that debate they had, and...I didn't know the guy was a Trotskyite...
Hell, I nearly thought of him as a personal hero the way he stuck a pin in that bag of obnoxious hot air, Galloway...
I saw your #9 after I wrote my #13. Imagine the current ( and probably OVER) Hitchens-Galloway matches as perfectly suited to Hitchens dealing with those parts of himself that are changing, in an ongoing dialogue "with himself".
