Steyn vs. Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens

Mark Steyn

Would everyone please take my word for it? If you do nothing in your spare time except read these two authors, Hitchens & Steyn (whether in the media, in their published works available at your local bookstore, or else during radio interviews, or even on Blogs, etc.,.), you will be intellectually and humorously blessed, and also you will find/discover that It (viz., the Hope for our future) is neither Right nor Left, but reasoned argument and a sense of humour, and also a sense of Culture which in turn wins the heart.... So please, read these two most eloquent and thoughtful journalists, that the 21st century has unwittingly uncovered from among the bloggers & hangers-on of journalism, post 9/11 & post-Sadaam & post-Zarquawi -- please read them.

PS Remember, Hitchens infamously "trashed" Mother Theresa via a much-watched documentary, while Steyn has been routinely brought up before the Canadian "Muslim/religious 'bigot of notice' court" (my description). So my (well-known) religious sympathies are not necessarily supported by those who support those who these guys support.
