Christopher Hitchens, 1949-2011

David Frum: Christopher Hitchens, 1949-2011

A friend of theirs once took Christopher Hitchens and his wife

Carol Blue to dinner at Palm Beach's 

Everglades Club, notorious for its exclusion of Jews.

"You will behave, won't you?" Carol anxiously asked 

Christopher on the way into the club. No dice.

When the headwaiter approached, Christopher demanded: 

"Do you have a kosher menu?"

Christopher was never a man to back away from a confrontation on behalf of

what he considered basic decency. Yet it would be wrong to remember only the confrontational side. 

Christopher was also a man of exquisite sensitivity

and courtesy, dispensed without regard to

age or station.

tonights' 60 minutes....

I have watched Christopher Hitchens

on every news channel there is. 

.....And in complete awe.

He is a writer and a serious politico.

Me, 

I definitely do not agree with his politics.

I have found myself cursing him out on the tele.

But, having had a crush on him 

since the first time I found him in an interview on a cable news show...

He is so brilliant, and sexy. 

His brilliance is what makes him so sexy

I have been wondering where the heck he had been lately...

He is more than a bit of a bad boy....

And tonight on 60 minutes I found out.

it is cancer.

He is 61 years young.

more on 

Christopher Hitchens

And it that wasn't sad enough.....

....More on the homeless families in Florida.

Kids coming home from school 

and finding that their homes had been locked and boarded up.

(homeless kids take the bus)

The stories are heartbreaking.

And there 

"but for the grace of g-d go I"

Make your gratitude list tonight and read it tomorrow too.

Kiss your loved ones both large and small.

The situation is so hard out there.

I know that no one wants to look at this or hear about it.

Tonight this piece on families that had lost their homes 

to foreclosure just broke me up.

....the shame on the kids faces....

  the pain and shame these poor parents are feeling...

When will things really turn around 

for all Americans ?
