<\/a>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: <\/p>\n

Dear Dr. Jay, <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

You’re in luck! My parish is currently accepting donations. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God Bless, Operative HRE <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PS- I had to try. All the former pastors would haunt me if I didn’t.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Heh. You got me there. Mrs. Dr. J. will bump up the check starting next week.<\/p>\n

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

Thanks for writing in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
