First, Christopher Hitchens describes his cancer treatment in Vanity Fair, as only Hitchens could.
And second, Michael Bloomberg opines about the "Ground Zero mosque." Mayor Bloomberg, THANK YOU. Here's a quick excerpt from his speech:
“The simple fact is, this building is private property, and the owners have a right to use the building as a house of worship, and the government has no right whatsoever to deny that right. And if it were tried, the courts would almost certainly strike it down as a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
“Whatever you may think of the proposed mosque and community center, lost in the heat of the debate has been a basic question: Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion? That may happen in other countries, but we should never allow it to happen here.
