(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Saturday, November 30, 2002
Killblogger heartthrob Christopher Hitchens pulls ahead of Eric Raymond in the race to out-and-out insanity. When speaking of intellectual skirmishing, Hitchens avers that, "Only out of real confrontation does any enlightenment come." With both his championing of George Bush and Bush's war(s) as combatting Islamofascism, that nefarious political agenda that seeks to bind the world in Shari'a-specified ignorance and with the above, Hitchens can be read as putting Bush forward as an avatar of enlightenment, the only one with mental and moral fortitude enough to prevent the "destruction of society where only one book is allowed." posted by Anonymous5:37 AM
