Tickets for this one are much more affordable.

Now that ought to be a phenomenal debate.  I'm not a big 'fan' of Dinesh D'Souza but Christopher Hitchens is probably one of the most brilliant journalists and political observers out there...forgive my obviously ironic use of the word but I read his columns religiously.

If you make it to the debate let us know how it went.

actually, it's John Lennox, author of "God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God".

I don't know why I thought it was D'Souza. Coulda swore I saw that somewhere.

Still looks to be interesting...
