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.

[AlabamAlum]

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.

[hack]

Fair enough, Mike. That nails it.

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

[Mike]

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.

I'm just saying, you can look at a picture. There's no ambiguity at all.

Trump is going to get a huge bounce from this convention.

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.

[Mike]

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

I thought C was closed

Can't anyone change a Wikipedia page? Go head and change it.

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

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.


Also, related: I have been drinking tonight.

Al Borges, QB coach who the tweet was probably about.
