Dr. J. received this missive from the Holy Roman Emperor, aka Operative HRE, via Papal bull. Seriously, it was a bull with one of them bunny ear hats. He writes:

Dear Dr. Jay, 

I read your entry, and I really liked it- I know a couple of people in finance, and they’re extremely peeved whenever the media mentions it. 

I did note one line you wrote: “Shoot, Dr. J. could probably write a bigger check to his parish weekly than he does.” 

You’re in luck! My parish is currently accepting donations. 

God Bless, Operative HRE 

PS- I had to try. All the former pastors would haunt me if I didn’t.

Heh. You got me there. Mrs. Dr. J. will bump up the check starting next week.

Tomorrow we will find out, BTW how many points Dr. J. got right on Romney tax controversies. This weekend on the news, Dr. J. heard Mitt discuss Mormonphobia and tithing with Chris Wallace. He also read an article on teh webs about Mitt’s Cayman Island account. It was also mentioned somewhere that he’s really really rich. WSJ is betting on some municipal bond action as well. No sign of any money in Chick-Fil-A, though…

Thanks for writing in!

Dr. J.
