From a reader:

Okay, you guys finally got me. I subscribed to National Review yesterday.

I have been reading the Corner and the Kerry Spot for months and I thoroughly enjoy myself every time I check in. Indeed, you made Election Day bearable, just by breathing a little sanity into the discourse. (Okay, you and the Fox News Channel.)

By the way, I subscribed as part of a school fundraiser. My kids flog magazines every year to finance an eighth grade trip to Washington, DC. The reason I mention this is that I’m sure I’m not the only Corner reader with kids in the magazine sales fund-raising business. To anyone else out there feeling the pressure to buy something (anything) to support the cause, remember, there are better choices than People and Time.
