In all honesty, both men are masters at what they entail.

Hitch gets the Hitch award and Dawkins gets the Gilded Pastafarian.

As Stephen J. Gould would say... Non-overlapping.

Actually, a 4 Horsemen award sounds sexy as hell.

Richard Dawkins Award is very honorable. I'm happy they give this award to such a great person like Christopher Hitchens. Thanks :)
