It has been brought to my attention that Mr. Rusty Hawkins, KVII’s resident “local resident” commentator, is not a professional “local resident” but an instructor at West Texas A & M University. I therefore stand corrected as to his occupational status. Whatever his occupational status (part-time) I will refrain from making any comment on how this may reflect upon the employment policies or academic standing of West Texas A & M University.
This is further evidence, however, of the lack of transparency on the part of KVII. While Adolph W. Hawkins (Adolph is Rusty’s given name, though why he avoids the use of Adolph, a name held in high esteem by many on the Right -- I speak of course of Adolph Coors – is not known) may not have been speaking on behalf of WT, the failure to disclose that he is an instructor in history and geography, and therefore not your average Adolph, leaves KVII and Mr. Hawkins open to questions about motives and credibility.
If KVII wishes to gain the informed opinion of a university instructor on political issues, why maintain the pretense of “local resident”? If Mr. Hawkins has no real insight into the issues he is commenting on, why maintain the pretense of university instructor?
As for little Adolph’s earlier history, I have been contacted by the director of the institute, Dr. Ignis Fatuus, and been informed that it is not the Institute for the Ideologically Insane but the Institute for the Ideologically Inert. I regret the error and stand corrected.
Dr. Fatuus also relates that his friend, a Beaumont media executive, recognized Dr. Berliner’s list and hoped John Kanelis was toeing the line since he moved up here. Dr. Fatuus also drew my attention to Dr. Berliner’s new article: “Die Elfenbein Kuppel Schwein Hund: Wenn übersetzt würden sie lernen, sie sind dumm in Deutsch” recently published in “Neugierig und keltische ein Affe Gesäß.” Be sure to pick up a copy soon.
