He's so incredibly succinct and persuasive in his points when it comes to religion and I always love to hear these debates.
His memoir 'Hitch-22' is well worth the read, especially now (the opening in particular).
- sriram_sun 15y agoHere is Hitchens on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-june-8-2010/christopher-hitchens http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-june-8-2010/christophe... - just delightful.
- Stormbringer 15y agoI don't mean to sound petty or ungrateful for the link, but is there some other source of this, one that is visible outside of the US? Even better would be if it didn't require Flash.
- spindritf 15y agoThis one is visible outside of the US. Though maybe not everywhere.
- Stormbringer 15y agoCanada doesn't count! ;-p edit (since it won't let me reply) - sorry, I meant Canada doesn't count as 'Outside the US'. Bad humour, no biscuit.
- sriram_sun 15y agoWow! No Canada eh?! Mind == Blown! I just pasted this gem from Louis C.K in a different post and saw your comment. I'm sure Viacom as a perfectly good reason for blocking off Canada, but read on... "...I have a profit around $200,000 (after taxes $75.58). This is less than I would have been paid by a large company to simply perform the show and let them sell it to you, but they would have charged you about $20 for the video. They would have given you an encrypted and regionally restricted video of limited value, and they would have owned your private information for their own use. They would have withheld international availability indefinitely. This way, you only paid $5, you can use the video any way you want, and you can watch it in Dublin, whatever the city is in Belgium, or Dubai. I got paid nice, and I still own the video (as do you). You never have to join anything, and you never have to hear from us again." Does this link work? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/09/christopher-hitchens-on-t_n_605874.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/09/christopher-hitchen...
- obtu 15y agoYes, thanks!
- lsb 15y agoThe interview starts "How's it going? / It's too early to tell.", which is superficially referring to how late of a partier he was, but deeply referring to how (that afternoon) he'd checked himself out of the hospital that diagnosed him with esophageal cancer.
- hirenj 15y agoActually, the 2004 interview on the Daily show starts with "How are you? / It's a bit early to say, too early to tell". He doesn't get asked how he is in the 2005 interview.
- Florin_Andrei 15y agoThat was always his opening line, actually.
