Public service announcement

For the Hitchensians amongst you –
If you’re wanting a new ‘fix’ today then get yourself over to here now
Christopher Hitchens joins Book TV for a live In-Depth interview on Sunday, September 2 from Noon to 3 pm ET.
Once there you will find there is a ’streaming video’ option available.
I’m watching it right now using the Realplayer option located at the top right hand corner of this page.
Direct link that should open a RP Video-frame here (hopefully)
That’s your lot.
Update: If you missed this interview, note that the whole thing is repeated on Monday, September 3, at 12:00 AM (that’s US ET of course).

I don’t have cable, but I’ll get it on the site tonight, unless it’s already up as an archive. I forgot all about it…three yummy hours of finger lickin’ Hitch!

I think they take a long time to archive material John.
Know anyone who has cable and could record it for Utubing?

Can’t wait for a Hitch fix? There is a segment around ten minutes into the P.J. O’Rourke interview.

Where, Mister Flea?
I demand an answer.

Do it Johnnymiester. Do it for the good of humanity.
Let us come together as one (overcoming the Yankland/Britland dichotomy) in a glorious synthesis of Hitchensfest brilliance.
Let us - with the utilization (note; I have used a ‘z’ in the previous word for more trans-Atlantic understanding) of technology become the overseers of the entire world of Hitchensianism!
I feel this is my duty. I feel this as my destiny. Onwards brothers and sisters! Onwards! Let cowards flinch and traitors sneer — for all they are worth! We shall defo* overcome the fuckwits!

As I type, it’s about 8:50 Eastern time here in the states, so I will be ready when it happens. Let me know where to send the mp3.

Will do John — expect an email from me soon!
We together, we shall Smite and smote the dark forces of anti-Hitch. The ugliness that is ‘watch’ sites shall be cast out into the regions of filth they deserve. No more I say! Let them rot in hell. Listen, thou who art a byword for idiocy, for you will be swallowed by a whale with excessively bad breath! Harken, thou denizens of the underworld, for you will be cast onto a steaming dung-heap!

As I point out (well, imply) in my little blog, at least the Watch gets updated now and then.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I followed the Hitchens link, went to the Archive and scrolled down to this:

I enjoy O’Rourke’s whole avuncular persona too though after an hour and a half of interview I confess I am flagging a bit. So, he writes on an IBM Selectric? Fascinating…
