Christopher Hitchens has cancer
Just read this...
Christopher Hitchens has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
The Vanity Fair and Slate columnist and author of recent memoir Hitch 22 recently suspended his book tour for what was described as "personal reasons."
Now, he reveals in a statement:
I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice.

I am literally heart broken. still am, since I found out a month and a half ago. (or was it two months?) Christopher Hitchens has been sort of my "inspiration" in my Non-Theist views, even over Sam Harris, Dan Barker, and of course, Richard Dawkins (to name a few). I'm in the Bible Belt of Texas, where I'm told i'm a "lost puppy" with "no moral compass". When I first moved here, Hitch was always there to keep me going (still is), and inspired me to keep my drive not to collapse under pressures of constant converters (not that I would anyway, but I sure quote him alot)
To Hitch I can only say.....
Gratis. Hope you get better, and maybe to get one final work after Hitch 22 out of you before you go.
Your an inspiration to us all.
