Fare-thee-well, Christopher Hitchens, always a joy to see in action, to read, to often disagree with. My favorite recent quip of his that springs to mind: "Cheap booze is a false economy" (Hitch-22, 2010).
Gore Vidal landed the last good shot in their back-and-forth quibbling: "Hitchens identified himself for many years as the heir to me. Unfortunately, for him, I didn't die" (2009). A salute to them both.

Erik, very scary. As we all know, life is too short to drink cheap booze. Currently I am very thirsty! Enjoy your pre Christmas week!
Definitely an intersting guy.
Both Vidal and Hitchens good writers.
But atheists.
Must be my inhuman sense of humour, but I imagine a final scoreboard:
God..............100 per cent.
Vidal and Hitchens......boo all!
