Farewell, Hitch.
Knowing you, the idea of resting in peace would cause you to produce a wry, sardonic smile, but I wish it for you anyway.

I have a bottle of Johnnie Walker black. My family and I had intended to toast Hitch for winter's solstice. I'm going to have to open it early. Hmmm... I wonder if they would think I was crazy if I went from Rum to whiskey. Oh well, screw 'em.

The science of cancer treatment just isn't there yet. Too bad.

I am reminded of one of the great exchanges in cinema:
"How's your mother?"
"Ah, she's on her way out, I'm afraid..."
"We all are. Act accordingly."
I say this not to be flippant, it's a reminder I think of often.
So long, Hitch.

Ah man. On the same day as my 93 old Grandmother. Both non-believers. Kinda sad today.
My sincere condolences.
Is it any consolation that the Iraq War also ended today?

I have a feeling Hitch might find some interest or irony in that.

Rest well, Hitch. You've deserved it.

Said the skeptic to the atheist.
But I can only echo it.
I WOULD think just about any state of mind, or even a lack of one, is superior to "dying from cancer" to the person in question.

That's a given.
I referred to the "rest well" bit, seeing as how Hitchens didn't think there was an afterlife to rest in.

I'll miss Hitch. The world became a little poorer today.
