You gotta love the Times of London. Here’s the lede for their recent article on the hometown of the Republicans’ vice-presidential candidate:

At the age of 10, Sarah Palin got her very own bunny rabbit. Which means to say that she crouched down in the grass outside her family home, aimed her shotgun and blew its furry little head off.

Blew its furry little head off. Blew its furry little head off. Not to paint a picture, or anything. And can I say how unlikely it is that she was using a shotgun to hunt rabbits? At her age, we used .22 rifles.

Dear Reader,

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.
