Interesting article today in the New York Times on the topic of "Manners." Made me think of Donovan's son Ned. The article forwards the position that using the term (or honorific) "Ma'am" is suggestive of being dimissive towards the person at the receiving end. Said Judith Kroll, a Penn State professor of linquistics: "It's superficially a sign of rspect ... (But) It's saying, I'm not going to have a serious conversation with you; I'm not going to engage with you." How many times did Ned address Bill Villa as "sir," in his attempt to defend his Father's behavior?
The "councilor" says he doesn't have time to devote to his academic projects, so he may not seek re-election. Here's tip for the Dipsy Don: Use the time you waste foisting illegal and unenforceable ordinances on Allentown (like cell phone bans or laws that require landlords to act as Allentown Housing Authority policemen). Also, 3,000-word musings on that bullshit blog don't make you more efficient, either.
Important fact I'd like our readers to know: Allentown Arts Commissioner (for now) Donovan refuses to apologize to me, a community volunteer, art teacher, long time Allentown resident, musician, and former ASD teacher who worked to help renew the downtown through the arts by starting an artist group, and bringing diverse people together. That artist group recently received an Arts Ovation award for emerging artists from the Allentown Arts Commission. Many of the sadistically cruel lies and vile personal attacks against my family that were compliantly published by Donovan at his blog the entire month of March were posted and signed by out of town bloggers (Donovan's sociopath friends), and were directed at me. Donovan says he is interested in "urban redevelopment" and "building social capital" and "mutual respect" and "civility." Bullshit. Just exactly how is he doing that?
My days of volunteering for Allentown are over because of Donovan's attacks and the apathy of Allentown. And to Donovan's supporters, should you decide to dish it out at us, expect it to be dished back at you 100-fold like Duped Dunce Donovan is getting.
Lots of people from the "City of Allentown" IP are currently flocking to LVS in droves. City Employees: please tell Mike Donovan he's "a jerk" and insist that he stick to his 8/28 rumination to not run again. Merci.

"Show me your friends and I'll tell you what you are."
We did all we could for you, Mike...
"It is likely ... that I will not run again."
a/k/a extorting pity for himself.
All 20 remaining Morning Call employees (for now) are reading LVS simultaneously ...

Bravo, Villas!

We're not done w/ Donovan.
"A-Town taxpayer," we dunno who's more verbose, pompous, phony, pusillanimous, and annoying, Donovan senior, or junior.

Touché.
