Long overdue if you ask me
They should give Richard Dawkins a Christopher Hitchens award.
@Ixus: Awesome idea!!! :)
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.
Hitchens Junior, a Christian, disagress with Christopher on drug legalisation. A debate is starting between him and a blogger here:

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