Christopher Hitchens & Stagecoach Humiliate Richard Dawkins

First I must say R.I.P. Christopher Hitchens. You were my favorite atheist, even when I no longer found you convincing. You also had far more integrity and courage than your fellow Horseman (now pony rider) Richard Dawkins:



Hitchens met Craig willingly at a panel...
...Dawkins met Craig unwillingly at a panel.

Hitchens referred to him as Dr Craig...
...Dawkins referred to him as Mr Craig.

Hitchens admitted atheist academics took Craig seriously...
...Dawkins ignored even Dennett and Grayling's engagements!

Hitchens acknowleged Craig as a scholar...
...Dawkins calls Craig anything but a scholar.

Hitchens received letters of advice from fans...
...Dawkins received letters of advice from "I'm-an-atheist-but"-ers.

Hitchens was grateful for the civility shown to him by students and staff...
...Dawkins was ashamed of the civility shown to Craig by students and staff.

Hitchens joked about low-balling their debate...
...Dawkins was serious about low-balling their non-debate.

Hitchens lost his life...
...Dawkins lost his balls.

RIP Hitch...
...ROFL Dick.

And, secondly, a little extra Christmas treat:



That's correct! They were only contracted to be displayed for a few weeks... but they will remain fitted until a new purchase is made on the advert space (which, given the time of year and current economic climate, could be for a while)?

So, 2011 has been a bit of a humbug year for the increasingly Scrooge-like Dawkins...

...what will 2012 bring?
