Hitch has cancer

Smoking has apparently caught up with Christopher Hitchens. He's been on a book tour, promoting his new memoir Hitch-22. Today, Hitchens announced that he has esophageal cancel and is canceling further events.

I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice.

Brown Freethought will be gathering at some point to sacrifice a goat so that the gods might heal our most-beloved horseman.
