InsideCatholic.com has a list of predictions for 2008 . Rick Santorum bets that global-warming fever cools, and Ray Flynn calls the November contenders: Clinton vs. McCain.
My one prediction for the new year:
Oliver Stone will, in fact, be kidnapped in Colombia . This act of terrorism will soon deteriorate into a “Ransom of Red Chief” deal, with Colombian guerrillas offering the U.S. cash and drugs to take the director back, thus sparing them more conspiracy theories about Smoot-Hawley and its long-term effect on the box office for Alexander . The president will go soft after watching World Trade Center and accept the offer. A dispute will arise over shipping costs.
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.
