Sometimes, all writers can do is bow their heads in recognition that a description can’t be bettered. Want a flag for your car? Over at this flag store, they say, reasonably enough:
Our Christian Car flags are made of durable, knitted polyester and are double sided for longer life. The staff and window clip are made of nylon.
After trying a large number of different suppliers, we finally found one that was suitable for highway use. However if you drive at speeds over 50 mph frequently the life of these flags may be 1 month or less. But that is pretty good considering the extreme conditions.
I’m not sure I’d recommend one of these for my friend Sally’s car, but if you drive sedately, you might want to order a pair. Of course, those who drive sedately don’t usually bedeck their cars with flags, so it’s something of a niche market we’re looking at here.

Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
