Special Thanks to Muhlenberg College President (for now) Peyton "Randy" Helm

Randy ...

a big "merci" to you for finally talking some [blogging retirement] sense into your assistant professor of 'media and communication,' Jeff Pooley.

Last detail will be to fire Pixie PhD Pooley for publicly lying maliciously about "harassment."

Professor (for now) Jeffie can dish it out but he can't take it. He's pusillanimous like a bow tie.

Karen Beck Pooley Gone. Was Muhlenberg College Professor/Hubby Jeff To Blame?

[Update: LVS's inconvenient facts force Jeff Pooley into blogging retirement but is it already too late to save his job? Stay tuned for 'bombshell no one will see coming' on this story ...] We've never heard anything but good things about the now ex-head of the Allentown Redevelopment Authority Karen Beck Pooley PhD who resigned yesterday, see Morning Call "newspaper" account.

Another story altogether, however, is Karen Beck Pooley's under-achieving total embarrassment of a husband, stoner Muhlenberg College assistant professor of media and communication, Jeff Pooley.

Co-dependently kissing up to both Allentown's card club of cranky curmudgeon native elder know-it-alls and "new boy network" wanna-be in power types at his precociously precious and passive-aggressive blog Allentown Afterthoughts, assistant professor Pooley routinely encourages kvetching sabotage of popular Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski ... his wife's now ex-employer. Hey. Some savvy 'media and communication' there, assistant professor P.

But the last straw may have been the hate speech and libel forum Jeff Pooley enabled for Mayor Pawlowski's most delusional detractor, outgoing VP of Allentown City Council (and Cedar Crest College "ethics" professor), W. Michael Donovan.

Although Allentown City Council as a whole has been a continuous source of head-shaking embarrassment for the squeaky clean Pawlowski administration, the in-depth and shocking exposé of Jeff Pooley's pal W. Michael Donovan by 69 News ... coupled w/ provoking blogger Pooley's afterthought fanning of the flames ... sadly, may have made Karen Beck Pooley's position vulnerable.

We wish her well.

In "championing" the whinings of a minority of 5 Allentonians, the self-admitted "hard of hearing" Donovan recently succeeded in getting the IronPigs baseball team to hush up(!) its 8-minute fireworks displays that were fan favorites and greatly enjoyed by the IronPigs' East Side Allentown neighbors, see: IronPigs to scale back fireworks shows.

I am the councilman. i am not an opinion poll watcher, and I look out for the minority, when necessary, something which is a benefit of democracy. The city does not get any taxes from the Pigs. There is no Amusement Tax that we receive. If I lived within the reach of that noise and had young children, you can bet I would be complaining about the frequency and lateness. The task was to work out something that would benefit both sides. For Nicholas, the next time you have a concern that perhaps only you and a few others have, but you sincerely feel you are being harmed, I'm not sure if I'll be the right person to ask for help. Best regards, Michael Donovan

Nicholas at 8:09 AM August 21, 2010

How the heck did you ever win an election with that attitude.... Folks listen to this guy. How about you quit now and do the majority a favor ...

Donovan's constituent abuse is continuing in a post called "Fireworks" at his ironically titled blog "Inclusion" (?) where Donovan, oozing self pity, hints that his days as an Allentown elected official may be numbered, voluntarily.

Since most Allentonians now "have Professor Donovan's number ..."

thanks to LVS's exclusive exposé coverage of colluding crony-crooked insider Donovan ...

we agree w/ Forum commenter Nicholas that Donovan should number his days as an elected official at that same number (zero) and resign from Allentown City Council, Allentown Economic Development Corporation (AEDC), the Allentown Parking Authority, and the Allentown Arts Commission immediately.

What Cedar Crest College ultimately opts to do w/ its "Ethics" Professor "W" Mike Donovan will be revealed exclusively here at LVS, ASAP.

Will "W" Mike Donovan Run & Hide from July 21 Showdown City Council Meeting?

[Why won't Donovan apologize to the Villa family? Will we need a court order?]

LVS readers, as you know, the next scheduled (for now) meeting of Allentown City Council on July 21 promises to be a blockbuster!

But sadly, the co-star of the show might be a pusillanimous no-show. Yep.

Will "W" Mike Donovan grow a spine before July 21 and show up?

Will Mrs. "W" Mike Donovan be pointing her flip-cam at me the whole time again? (and can you blame her?)
