And then we got home and Marty and I watched a video of a Christopher Hitchens speech, available here. All one and a half hours of it. It’s worth a viewing if you have home internets. Combined with the earlier debate, it fired an enthusiasm for argument and politics which had been cooling of late. It also reminded me of my Hall of Fame. I’d avoided doing it, thinking that it was a bit obvious, a bit going through the motions, a bit, oh there’s someone that winds people up, there’s a comedian of medium-renown, there’s a historical figure, there’s an unexpected mediocrity, there’s Mick Jagger – but I think I’ll go with it, each entrant coming with a paragraph or two on why they deserve their place.
