Christopher Hitchens
This day is long and it is only five o´clock and I have
watched
two movies on TV. This is the third day of endless rain that
falls softly but unstoppable like water torture when they
tie
you to a chair and water drip on your head till you confess,
“Yes, it was my mother who wrote that book, not me.”
And my torturers
would suddenly smile serve me hot cocoa
strawberry cream cakes and American cigarettes; with me at
ease they would shot me, eat the cakes and smoke the
siggies.
I have been watching Christopher Hitchens on You- Tube.
he was a great debater and learned scholar, but not a deep
thinker and his book about god had nothing in it I had not heard
before or thought of. A clever man who wasted his talent
with too much booze, late nights and clever remarks; pugilist
of
words, but will he be
remembered for anything more?
