Hitchens Yanked...

Looks like Hitchens has finally and officially given up on constitutional monarchies and has landed firmy on the side of Jeffersonian democracy...

ACERBIC Brit Christopher Hitchens refers to Washington,
D.C., as his hometown - and now he's making it official. Hitchens was in Paris
Wednesday, where he told a group of journalists that he was about to officially
become an American citizen, having applied for his green card years back. "His
first item of business as a Yank will be to start a U.S. cricket team," our
source giggled.
