Can you even imagine the kind of punishment you'd get?"

Pierce writes: "First we have Ross Cardinal Douthat, Archbishop of Dorkylvania, rousing himself in 800 of the 1800-odd words he writes per week to warn us that we're all becoming lazy slobs who don't want to work as hard as he does."

FOR THE RECORD, ON THE END OF MONTHLY FUNDRAISING: Yesterday we published an offer to end monthly fundraising if we could sign up 4,000 new monthly subscribers. Since then 30,000 people have visited RSN, 2 have signed up as monthly subscribers. Just an indicator of the challenges we face. We do need to make or budget for February and right now we are well short of that. Give us a hand. Thank you. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
