The Last Full Measure of Devotion

The weblog Winds of Change  began "Operation: Buy Christopher Hitchens A Drink" on July 13th. The objective of the campaign was to honor the prominent left wing hawk and merciless critic of Mother Theresa and Henry Kissinger by purchasing Mr. Hitchens bottles of Johnnie Walker.  Since the start of the endeavor, several hundred dollars have been raised and Hitchens has responded by announcing that he will use the proceeds to support the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.  Not only is Hitchen's decision kind it is wise as well.  No honest man can look at the this picture and deny that Christopher Hitchens is one of the last people in the world that needs several cases of free alcohol.
