Unfortunately, I can&#8217;t give out his private email or phone number &#8211; he is very protective of his privacy and has been know to change all of his numbers and email if they are given out to the public &#8211; as well as completely cutting off the supposed &#8220;friend&#8221; who committed the sin.  I don&#8217;t want that to happen to me!<\/p>\n<p>However, if you can send me the message, I promise that the next time Michael calls or writes me I will pass it along. I know he appreciates the support and prayers he is getting from all of the people like you he doesn&#8217;t have time to thank personally.<\/p>\n<p>For my part, thank you,<\/p>\n<p>The Dowbrigade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every once in a while, even decidedly amateur psuedo-pundits get an email which can bring a tear to the eye of so crusty and callow a scoundrel as the Dowbrigade.
