who shall replace hitch?

I too, think it is bad that Hitch is gone from the Nation. I 
have not agreed with Hitch much lately, but at least he was 
fun to read. I positively dread what they'll come up 
with as a replacement. Please, not another obnoxious 
Whorite like Alterboy, or another snoozer like Patricia 
Williams. 

--how about Louis Proyect? he he......

I have no idea who they will bring on next...Actually, it'd be great to 
see a regular column for someone like David Bacon, one of those rare 
writers organically tied to labor, something that writers like Hitchens 
or Cockburn can't really say for themselves...
