Usually a fan, I found this article poorly poorly written and not very informative or interesting.
outstanding. or should i say, good to the last drop...
Awesome!!!!! I'll enjoy reading this later today :)
The prose barely circulated at first, but then like from spring-fed pools it flowed over to streamlets, to grander rivers, to the delta and great open sea!! Veeery nice! :)
I felt like I had just had rough sex after reading that. It was great but it would have been better at about 10 pages.

It's Recruiting Animal's comment that is poorly written and not very interesting; like his website.
I missed this recording from 2007 Los Angeles Public Library.

Good conversation with a Catholic, and at about 1 hour 7 mins Hitch gets ia shouting match with what sounds like a 9/11 denier. It is a precursor of the famed 'Fascist Crackpot' incident at LA book fair, whcih in on Youtube. Wonder if it was the same guy following Hitch around?
this is a classic:

Where on Youtube do you find the LA book fair video? I can't find it.
