But I'm not dead yet!

Quiet, you're not fooling anyone!


I know that Hitchens' situation is not looking promising last I heard, but it does seem odd that I've seen so many videos lately that make it seem like he recently passed.

Considering he will be nothing but a lifeless pile of flesh when he's dead (and he knows this), I think it is very considerate to honour his accomplishments while he is still alive.

So glad that Hitchens' illness serves as substantial excuse to honor him in his time and to further the cause of continued reasoned debate and enlightened understanding.
