Let us pray: Oh Most Ancient of Days, impress upon those who art frequent of visits to National Review Online, who doth revel in the sage commentary and sane analyses that art found herein with great abundance, and for the cost of naught, through the astuteness granted them by Thou Almighty, that there indeed art a cost to the product of National Review Online, and that those who revel here accepteth that the consequence and influence of this font of wisdom art mighty and doth verily merit their firm support, in the form of dollars. And we beseech them: Doeth such here lest a plague of toads shalt visit upon thee and thine. And we say: Amen.

And now let all here who haveth eyes see and who haveth ears hear the graceful compliments paid rightly to this website by those who, selfless of action, have toss-ed a sawbuck or even more into the lonely treasuries herein, this to the amazement of The Suits, who art grateful and who weepeth tears of joy:

He who is Nathaniel S. doth giveth smackers of 50 and sayeth: “As a diligent reader of Jonah Goldberg and the Corner since its inception and one of Kevin Williamson’s true radicals (we homeschool our five children) I would be remiss if I did not scrape the couch cushions for a little something to help keep the project going (I wish it could be more). NR is a daily must-read for me, keeping me up-to-date and informed; and even providing hope for the future of limited, constitutional, of, by, and for the people government. Keep up the great work!” We shalt.

She who art Ruth K. sayeth: “Thank you all for the right news, the right opinions, the defense of American values and culture, and your support for Israel.” Thou art welcome, and we thanketh thee for thine 250 bucks.

And in conclusion, he who is Andrew M. sayeth “Keep up the good work. A free subscription should come with this.” Indeed it shalt, and for thine $1,000 contribution, which art generous in the extreme, be thou assured that the publisher shalt standeth on his head and whistleth thy tune most favored.

As National Review doth with joy mark its anniversary of three score years, do showeth thy affection for that which William Buckley created, with guidance spiritual and holy from the One whose Name preceedeth all, including “and Man at Yale.” Showeth thy generosity here.
