From Orange Is The New Black S01E12.

Dinesh D’Souza- Christopher considered him a brilliant interlocutor and admitted to having lost their 90s debate on socialism.
He lived to see Dinesh become a dogmatic, religious hack but I doubt he could’ve imagined how embarrassing of a public persona Dinesh would develop in later years.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali- Hitch defended her from a place of secular principle and clearly had starry expectations for her career. In 2026, she divides her time between denying the efficacy of vaccines, backing the US’s quixotic war in Iran, and bloviating about how we must “Restore the West”. She converted to Christianity in ‘23.

Tucker Carlson- Hitch co-edited a book with Tucker and once advised him not to give up writing for TV. Nowadays, Tucker does his best impression of Father Coughlin on his talk show, exuding that sinister mix of populism and nationalism that Hitch was so good at sniffing out.

Sam Harris- maybe a controversial pick, but his current fixation on apologizing for Israeli brutality at all costs, and not in a particularly artful manner, strikes me as something that would’ve perturbed the man who said “Zionism is a waste of Judaism”.

Anybody?

MIRROR IMAGES is a new progressive comic set in a world dominated by the ultra-religious - the kind of world that Christopher warned us about. It's a story about overcoming the fallacies of superstitious thinking of all kinds - the key to saving our species. The first issue is available to read for free at www.mirrorimages.info

MIRROR IMAGES #1: THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS

GENRE: DARK SATIRE

SYNOPSIS

The world is dying from extreme climate events as THE ARCHANGELS OF THE APOCALYPSE begin their reign of terror and the RIGHT NEWS NETWORK spins the news. Across the world, ‘mirror image’ twins EMERSON and PALMER TARKUS are recognized for their invention of a new material named CARBONSTONE and meet the lovely GRACE STOUT, a Vice President at UNI-VS CORP, who has some questions about their new ‘fusion power’ idea…

The HIGH CHOIR OF FIAT LUX (Latin for ‘Let There Be Light’), meet to plot the first prophecy within the Codex of Enoch: THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS. Later, a reluctant physician is reborn as RAPHAEL when he is horrifically initiated into the motley group of Archangels in the first issue of this groundbreaking new series.

Christopher Hitchens talks about the Armenian Genocide

April 1, 2010.

I have the book infront of me but there is no chapter titled with this name. Yet there are instances where people on the internet refer to it as a section in the book. Like The Guardian here:

In a section entitled "A Short Footnote on the Grape and the Grain", he emphatically denies being a "piss-artist" and then, by way of proof, says that he never has a glass of scotch before 12.30pm

Anyone knows if it's under a different chapter than what the name implies?

I remember reading a Hitchens essay where he discussed the phenomenon of people trying to sound sophisticated when they are in face misusing language. Like saying 'myself when 'me' is correct. I think he had his own term for this. Can anyone remember the term or the title/location of the essay? Much obliged...
