All this talk about Lost has bored me. So much silly philosophizing and mixed up theology makes for interesting viewing for the average audience, but not so much for me any more. And John Locke did not wake up with Suzanne Pleshette to end the series (as I had hoped). All this for a story that never happened.  (And Hugo, imnsho, was the real hero.)  But instead of arguing about all this, I propose we get down to a real controversy. Here is the question: Who is the greater spy — Chuck or Sydney?


They are quite similar: Both have spy parents. Both dealt with absentee parents. Both dropped out of college. Both are phenomenal martial artists. Both are in their mid 20s.


One thing Chuck has going or it is that it fulfills the old cliche: Nerd gets hot chick.


But back to the question: Who is greater? (No, not Chuck Norris.)

Dear Reader,

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.

For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.

In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.

So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?

Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
