In but a few hours we wrap up the Keep Jonah in Pants fund, the Trump-inspired Pants-athon whose proceeds will helps NR kick liberals in the pants and expose leftists whose pants are on fire. And get Jonah at least one cool pair of chinos. The contributors have been many, have been generous, and have been chatty in the comments attending the cool cash they donate (we are asking for a pants-like $25 donation, which can be made here). Some samples:

• Ed drops $25 on NR and asks, “Bell bottoms anyone?” Groovy idea.

• Generous Stan tosses in a hundred bucks while proclaiming (and cautioning) — “This is no time to be shorting Jonah! We are in it for the long haul. Please just don’t buy chaps!!” Yippee ki nay.

• There’s another C Note from Richard, who’s generous as heck but maybe writing to us from 1971: “Please Jonah, if we buy you pants you must wear them! The Nixonesque shorts and black socks on the beach just ain’t working no more big fella!”

• Mary Ann sends a pants-worth twenty-fiver . . . but may have just watched Dial M for Murder? “As a big fan of Jonah Goldberg, I am happy to donate to the NR ‘Pantsathon’ BUT — Why do you need my phone number? Tried to leave it off, wouldn’t allow. Please do not call me.” We promise: Other than the publisher this is a creep-free joint (we ask for the number only to make a rare heart-attack-saving call if the donor looks like she might have misplaced the decimal point — true!).

• And then there was a sweet $50 contribution from saucy Becky, who struggles — “In the midst of the hysteria over ‘Magic Mike’ and friends, it’s difficult to contribute to covering up male parts, but Jonah’s magic is all upstairs.”

Well Becky, he may think otherwise, but then I really don’t want to know. But I do know all of you who have been mirthfully generous are a source of real help and inspiration to the NR gang. If you’ve yet to help out, please consider doing so. Our goal is 200 contributors. We’re almost there. Help us reach it. You can donate here.
