Arm Wrestling Hitch

Christopher Hitchens ... first, I'm writing about him at all because in some way I find him amazing. And not just in what a dick he can be, but he just knows so much shit. However, when one's job is journalism, this is going to happen. The rest of us assholes have to work all day and don't get a lot of time to read about the Ottoman Empire since we get home and have shitloads of work to do there, too.

None the less, I, too, was a reporter while Hitch was an honorary Chair or something at the University of Pittsburgh. I must say he walks his talk and was every political even in town.

ON THE OTHER HAND he's not as smart as he thinks he is just cause he knows a lot shit ... he doesn't know the heart of America. He doesn't understand it and doesn't care because they seem so stupid that they provide a pedestal up to the heavens for Hitch to occupy.

Back to arm wrestling .... do you think he could put down the Johnnie Walker Red or cigarette long enough to go at it with me? If I told you I started smoking just to be like him, would you believe me? Actually, it's my job that makes me smoke. I do tech support. Enough talk of that.

Hitchens ... bad enough he was so jealous of Bill Clinton that he stabbed a friend in the back during the Monica trial. But to back the war? But Hitch knows enough about history to know you can only stop a madman like Sadam with a war. I mean the poor Kurds.

So now there's all this death and there were no weapons of mass destruction, and in our own country, as the prisons bubble with abuse and the dehumanization of drug addicts - which is a medical, not moral, issue - but not a word about that. Men being treated like commodities - being traded as slaves while the COs look the other way. Ah ... American.

Hitch grew up in Portsmouth, UK. I was going to go there when I lived in Europe to go talk to his brother. But I did visit Hitchens' home in DC. Well he might have moved since then but the building has a servant’s entrance. Not very plebian of him.

But I have photos and all kinds of stuff that I will but on this site. I hope you enjoy it.

I have a love/hate relationship with him, which he would take as a sign of his iconoclastic classification so that would please him.

I was introduced to him as the town radical. DAMN RIGHT.

Love,
