Tell em straight..

I read this little piece in the Atlantic recently, it's about Christopher Hitchens and his current medical condition; there is a link to a video in the piece and I must say that although he sounds good he looks pretty bad, obviously the chemotherapy is having an affect. Anyway, the point of posting this was to draw attention to the forthright response that the author of the piece has for those people who say they are praying for Hitch to die; I fully agree with his conclusion and would add that its lucky mumbling to invisible men in the sky has absolutely no effect whatsoever on reality or we'd all have been f**ked a long time ago!
