Meet Lehigh University Provost, Patrick V. Farrell (Wally Trimble's Superior)

Well, I'm hoping to meet Mr. Farrell (fingers crossed).

Today I sent him this email ...

Mr. Farrell, I was hoping to handle this with Mr. Trimble, but Mr. Trimble's pusillanimously ducking me. Please phone me at your convenience, thanks.

Good thing he's got that post to hang on to, otherwise looks like Mr. Farrell would (hiccup) fall right over ...

Remember, no "name-calling" or personal attacks here and it's Dr. Farrell.

Readers, curiously, I can't find anything in today's "newspaper" on the outcome of "W" Mike Donovan's latest publicity whore grandstand move that was ballyhooed in the "newspaper" the other day (coupla good comments on it).

Did Donivan wussy out (again) and not ask for a vote on his resolution last night?

Was Donivan's resolution laughed out of the room?

Inquiring minds wanna know ... I'll email and phone Donovan's Press Agent Jarrett Renshaw ...

Mr. Trimble, I recently learned that Lehigh's Department of Journalism and Communication is employing Bill White, columnist at The Morning Call "newspaper," as an adjunct for its JOUR 11: News Writing course. I have grave concerns regarding Mr. White's ability to perform this task in the objective and professional manner I believe Lehigh University expects from its instructors. My concerns stem from Mr. White's jaw-droppingly deceitful and un-ethical reporting on an event involving me and a fellow Morning Call blogger crony of Mr. White's, outgoing Allentown City Council Vice President "W" Mike Donovan. Mr. Trimble, I believe that, as the chair of the journalism department, you should be aware of this smarmy issue and I would be happy to meet with you at your convenience to discuss this matter further, and in specific detail. I believe that there are enough qualified current and former local journalists available for adjunct positions at Lehigh University and that Mr. White should be fired. Give me 30 minutes to go over the facts with you and I'm confident you'll end up believing the same thing. Call me to arrange an in-person meeting.

Looking forward to your prompt response, and I won't stop contacting you until I get one. I will not be ignored on this serious matter.

Sincerely,

Bill Villa

Lehigh should just switch all its journalism professors from gas bag Morning Crawlers to vibrant current/former reporters and editors at The Express-Times, simple.

While I don't always agree w/ McJudas or the way in which he (or she) chooses to express progressive opinions, I do agree completely in this instance, and I will fight to the death for his (or her) right to express opinions freely.

"Editors" and "reporters" from The Morning Call "newspaper" visit LVS, on average, 250-500 times each day, including weekends and national holidays. Most frequent/compulsive LVS visitor/stalkers are Jarrett Renshaw and Bill White.

FYI: LVS's current most frequent obsessive/compulsive visitor/stalkers (500+ visits daily) are coming from the "LehighCounty.org" IP. These folks would of course be DA (for now) Jim Martin, "Executive Aide" (wink wink) Debbie Garlicki, and DA Jim Martin shield/sycophant Merrily Starkey.

Greetings, like a fine whine ... and please don't miss the part where "W" pulls his patented passive-aggresive on a fellow nutty professor city councilor and "political scientist." Dee-lish!

I posted this signed comment but it was haughtily denied inclusion at "Inclusion" ...

"W," don't let your neighbor's smashed front door hit you on your duped dunce dumb ass on your way out.

And get a load of panting 1st responder commenter Mr. Flip/Flopper hisself, Mike Molivinskli. Although every other "outsider" coward should shut up because they "don't know nothing" about the All-America City Allentown, Mr. "W" from Maine's a flippin' genius somehow (once), priceless!

I predict you'll hear from NorCo DA John Morganelli before Wally Tremble, (just sayin')

Bill Villa said...

Yo Adrianne, that would be par for the course :)
