Hitchens is certainly out there. But everybody knows that, and expects it. He's a controversialist, and whatever views you have, he'll have written a trenchant article denouncing at least a few of them.

In fact I disagree with nearly all of his opinions; but I enjoy reading his columns, because he's a good rhetorical writer, and because I enjoy him trying to defend the indefensible.
