  • Iraq is a stain on an otherwise sterling career for Hitch. Nobody's perfect and he'd have been the first to say it. What I most admire about Hitchens is how he not only went into the lion's den to fight on enemy turf, he relished it and thrived.

    • Don't get me wrong. I liked Hitchens. I don't share his (or Dawkins) zeal for enlightening or debating the general public on such things, though.

      • Fair enough, Mike. That nails it.

        Dawkins I think is condescending about it in a way that Hitchens wasn't.

        • Dawkins seeks out a fight where there isn't one. Hitchens would wait until someone picks a fight with him, then gut them like a fish.

                • Okay. Now to serious talk. This is horseshit.

                  Which one of these hotels would you say is the tallest in the US:

                  Hotel A:
                  218m to the roof
                  229m if you include the antenna
                  639 rooms/68 floors

                  Hotel B:
                  220m to the roof
                  269m if you include the antenna
                  1068 rooms/73 floors

                  Hotel C:
                  222m to the roof (212m to the top floor)
                  230m if you include the antenna
                  1246 rooms/73 floors

                  You would think it would be a tight race between B and C, with C winning by a nose? Well, those communists in NYC aided by wikipedia claim A!

                  Incidentally, A is the 1717 Broadway building in NYC with a split Courtyard/Residence.

                  B is the Westin Peachtree in Atlanta,

                  And C is the Renaissance Center in Detroit.


                  It's horseshit and I'm not standing for it.

                  • Wow. I would have never guessed the RenCen still had some relevance.

                          Ha, good one.
                          Brady Hoke, Chris Christie, and ???
                          Wasn't there a 3rd fat famous guy that looks exactly like Hoke and Christie.

                            No. The bastard that founded Wikipedia is an alum of Alabama AND Auburn. I don't trust him because of that, and I'm not gonna edit his pages. FUCK HIM.
