(Although, as a general rule, people named Bottum don’t get to make fun of other people’s last names; someday I’ll try to tell you what third grade was like.) Still, there are some naturals for the man: Hucksterbee , maybe, or, for his famer-in-the-dell demeanor, Ah, Shucksabee . Add Huckleberrybee and the Beatrix Potteresque Huckamucka , and I think you have the complete paint box from which Maureen Dowd will be working after the man is elected president. I, for one, welcome our new overlord.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
