Seems like Tom and Charlie would have a lot in common. We all love Charlie Brooker, don't we?

Is he somehow related to Christopher Hitchens?  They remind me of each other.

Because of the Englishness and the sputtering contempt?

Sputtering contempt, primarily, but pretty smart, big wordsy, Englishness and a certain doughiness to boot.

I don't want to see Charlie Brooker get waterboarded, however.  And wish I hadn't seen it happen to Christopher H.

How'd did I miss Hitchens getting water-boarded?  Have a link there, Buffer?

I don't really like him.

I like my English cynicism in small doses, but sometimes he's just too much.

They took significantly more precautions with him than with Andy Breckman.

Here's a vote for Charlie Brooker.

Screenwipe and Newswipe are awesome. His Guardian (I think) columns are a little overwrought, however.

Dear Auntie,

I will confirm or deny your supposition only after you provide three reasons explaining your demand.
