The Brothers Hitchens
How long has it been since I’ve posted to this blog? I figure I had best put something up lest you all drop me from your rss readers. Posting will resume at a more regular pace in a short while. I’ve been under duress getting my business affairs in order, struggling just to keep my modest bloglines list around 1000 unread posts.
In the meantime enjoy this interview of Christopher Hitchens and his estranged (by 4 years) brother Peter.
Are you two friends?
PH No. There was an old joke in East Germany that went, Are the Russians our friends or our brothers? And the answer is, they must be our brothers because you can choose your friends.
CH The great thing about family life is that it introduces you to people you’d otherwise never meet.

Hey, I noticed we have a fairly similar reading list and somewhat similar opinons - you might be interested in my blog. You’re one of the few sites on the internet which registers a hit for “Democratease”, which is how I found your site (I get quite a few hits to my post on the article, “Please Explain”). Not enough moderates in the blogosphere and not enough people give TNR the credit it deserves…
