There are times when you want to watch your metaphors, regardless of how stock they have become. Speaking of the press pool’s access to an event next week, the official White House schedule reads:
Tuesday, June 17. 9:45 am EDT. THE PRESIDENT is briefed on Midwest Flooding. Roosevelt Room, The White House. POOL AT BOTTOM.
Well, yes, that’s what happens in a flood.
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.
