christopher hitchens one of my fave journalists has a new book out, memoirs called hitch 22, he has been diagnosed with cancer. i hope he makes it, he's a brilliant writer who is committed to truth not ideology. he was being interviewed today by the atrocious jennifer byrne who needs to really needs to lighten up with her weird trendy lefty sentimentality. i was flabbergasted at how she pushed the point when hitch said he would respect his wife's wishes to go out to work but would rather she stay home and look after the children, can't a man have an opinion anymore?
she wouldn't let him go, on and on she pushed attempting to find a chink in his argument, but she failed spectacularly. anyway i've seen hitch and he's an amazing intellect, i really hope he sticks around. people like him are a rare breed these days.
