E!! It is so nice to see you here. How are you?

That was a fascinating article about Hitchens and his new belief system, the interplay with the author and Bin Laden's comment about Sweden, which I had not read. I think most of us only saw a brief and heavily edited transcript of Osama's pre-election remarks.

I myself am terrified about the spread of Islam in Europe and America because of the way they treat women and girls. I am not sure what we can do about that. It is a totally different subject from why we really invaded Iraq, and everything that George Bush has done to destroy social progress, of course.

Christopher Hitchens! I used to be such an admirer of his. I especially loved his writings about Sister Teresa, and her culture of death. Now I don't know what to think, except that perhaps he has alcohol poisoning. I do tend to love people who are an inch from totally going off; I think it makes for exciting news television. He disagreed with Joe Scarborough the other night a was really quite forceful about it. I still find Hitchens fascinating, even though he has gone over to the other side. What a pleasant surprise, to find such a nice article posted here!
