From: Jerry Breen (MC1970) Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2008 2:46 AM To: John Reinke Subject: Jerry Breen cartoon John: Here’s a new cartoon (I’ll try to get them to you on a more regular basis from now on). It’s equal time for the Republicans this time, with John McCain. Lately, the reporters seem to ask everybody, including politicians, “What’s on your iPod?” Surprisingly, most of them, including Obama and even old grey George W., actually do have iPods and give a list of their favorite tracks. Except John McCain. He really is a relic from another era. He actually grew up mostly in the age of radio, and admits that he never touches a computer keyboard. So I tried to imagine his answer to that inevitable question, “What’s on your iPod?” Jerry Breen www.newbreen.com # - # - # [JR: Cartoon at: http://tinyurl.com/5vobt6 ] # # # # # * Posted on: Sun, Jul 20 2008 8:07 PM * Updated: Wed, Jul 23 2008 4:08 PM |

http://www.pr.com/press-release/96058 iUniverse Would Like to Announce the Release of We Are a House Divided by Father Michael Dolan ***Begin Quote*** Father Michael Dolan believes
passionately that “’Catholic’ is not a label to be worn, but a life to be
lived.” In his new book, We Are A
House Divided, Dolan contends that the connection between religious life and
civil life in Steps must be taken, Dolan writes, to remedy the current situation before the American Catholic Church is pulled apart. We Are A House Divided is not only a scholarly treatise, but also a call to action. Dolan suggests ways that Catholic bishops, priests and laymen can restore the communion of the faithful as a strong, unified voice in the American public discourse. The author is especially frustrated by Catholic politicians and voters who do not apply the Roman Catholic Church’s fundamental teachings to legislation or voting decisions. He argues that the Catholic Church must directly engage in political debates over cultural issues, such as abortion, embryonic stem cell research, gay marriage and the tragic consequences associated with in vitro fertilization. The Catholic Church, Dolan writes, has the moral and cultural authority to do so. The author brings these issues to the fore with a powerful and unique voice. Having joined the priesthood as a widower, Dolan has lived a full life in the laity as a husband, father of seven children and medical doctor and retired U.S. Naval officer. In his thought-provoking book, he sets out his arguments with surgical precision, citing frequently from authoritative Catholic texts, speeches and doctrine. But he also brings a fresh perspective on a human scale, drawing on his medical expertise, his family and his own profound spiritual journey. The combination of authoritative
scholarship and sincere personal appeal establishes We Are A House Divided as
an important and timely approach to current issues. As the About the Author Father Michael Dolan has been an
ordained priest since 1997. A widower who entered the seminary after the
death of his beloved wife, Dolan is a retired naval officer, physician and
great-grandfather who resides in For more information, contact: Travis Wilson Phone Email Publicity@iuniverse.com ### Contact Information iUniverse Travis Wilson publicity@iuniverse.com www.iuniverse.com ***End Quote*** # - # - # Dear John, Father Michael is a member of the great class of 1953!

From: Vaccarino, Carmine [MC1957] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 1:44 PM To: Carmine Vaccarino Subject: Fw: A Quarter too much- A modern day parable A MODERN DAY PARABLE Several years ago, a new preacher
moved to Accept it as a ‘gift from God’ and keep quiet.” When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, “Here, you gave me too much change. The driver with a smile replied, “Aren’t you the new preacher in town? I have been thinking lately about going to worship somewhere. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I’ll see you at church on Sunday” . When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, “Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.” Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really almost scary example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put us to the test! Always be on guard and remember (as I try to remember) that you carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself “Christian.” # - # - # [JR: Obviously a internet chain letter, but it does have some redeeming value.

(I wonder how much that ‘throwback’ has cost the College in forgone development opportunities? One will never know.) Unfortunately, Plaxo, Cardscan, Facebook, MySpace,
LinkedIn, and others have demonstrated that the “book” is not the way to consume this type
of information. I have an FDU account that knock my
socks off. It’s not a book; it one of these new fangled things called a

Especially since there was no announcement from HQ. If you missed your email, you may want to check your spam folder. I have no idea what the plan is, so you have to look to HQ for further information. My limited knowledge is exposed here at Jasper Jottings; so don't ask me.
