I’ve been made aware of so much perversion in our fallen world, so much that is sick and twisted, that I thought nothing else could shock me.

Then someone goes and puts broccoli in a cupcake .

I don’t think I know any culinary sociopaths, but just in case I’ll say this: If you give me a cupcake and I bite into it expecting some moist devil’s food or some tangy creme filling and instead get a mouthful of broccoli —then we are no longer friends. I’m serious. You don’t do that to people you care about. You just don’t.

(Note: Please don’t show this graphic and disturbing image to children. What is once seen can never be unseen.)

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.
