Ah, it’s recess time and young Gary Harmon is out in the schoolyard, macho posturing and yelling taunts and calling some of the smarter kids names. It’s always the little guy trying to compensate for his shortcomings with bravado challenges.
We have the folks in town who think war is not really a celebration of manhood, but idiocy, being labeled ghouls. I checked the dictionary and I think it’s more appropriate to call Gary and his fellow travelers ghouls, but that’s not the point, is it? Schoolyard bullying is all about name-calling and the actual meaning of what you say is unimportant.
As always with Harmon, nuance escapes him. There’s the little matter of being led into a war by incompetents having, as yet, never publicly, and straightforwardly, announcing why we have a war that was being urged on long before 9/11, followed by the bogus claim that there was a connection between al-Qaida and Saddam. Amazingly, that offends some people.
By now, everybody has taken sides and discussing the supposed pros and cons of this war is pretty futile, but those who believe strongly that it was the doing of war criminals are willing to demonstrate in spite of the actual ghouls. Come on out and show your “true patriot” colors, Gary. You might even bring something to throw so you can prove the manhood you desperately seek.

I think Gary Harmon and willis leon johnson might be the same person. Neither seem to know what a paragraph is, and they both have the same inane ideas and they both think they’re smarter than everyone else.

I think John Borgen and Al Gore might be the same person. They both sound off a lot and never really say anything.

Harmon, come to the event this Sunday at Lincoln Park at 2pm and come talk to Garett Reppenhagen and Jeff Englehart, two local Iraq War Vets that are speaking out against the war. Maybe that would help Harmon get a more well rounded view of what is really going on, on the ground in Iraq.

Come on…leave Gary Harmon alone. I heard he is up for a raise and he’ll soon be making $8.39 an hour. Poor fella, who else but the Sentinel would hire him?
…and he’d never show up to an anti-war rally, well, unless Rick Wagner was there to hold his hand.
Take a look at Harmon’s picture. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words?
I could only think of one ~ (snicker!)
Seems kinda crude and rude, eh Gary?
…but we know you appreciate the ‘crude and rude’.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Break it up and you’ll put that rope down. To quote a phrase well-known to managers limiting the mob mentality (and here we are) “…you big son-of-a bucks line up; you little son-of-a-bucks bunch up.”
Let’s give Mr. Harmon a bit of breathing room here shall we. If you want to put him up on the horse with a braided necktie before you spank its flank let’s give a little credit where credit is due and acknowledge the guilty culprit George (Earth First) Orbanek. The Sentinel’s former Publisher/Editor, Mr. Orbanek placed Mr. Harmon where is is and should be dutufully noted herein. Hook and bullet crowd my tail feather why dontcha! So there.
While Mr.Harmon has, at times, exhibited a bit of hyperbole and unleased rhetorical license I’ll defend him here and now to all within earshot. Anyone who generates umbrage with the likes of an intellectual know-nothng like Willis_Leon_Johnson (what are those ridiculous underscores doing there in the middle of your names anyway Leon?) gets me riding in on the white horse doing my best version of Sheriff Rooting-Tooting.
So lets put all in plain English for you wanna-be Sage Brush cowboy gangbangers-bunch yourselves up and get ready IV the floggin-of-your-bottoms lives. Leon cowboy-up your fat head and lard arse over here now-you’re first! Good day.
Respectfully,
IM Flogginbottoms IV

Awww gee,
It’s the tenured college professor flogging himself with his lacy satin flogging device wishing he had a partner to flog him.
“Willis_Leon_Johnson (what are those ridiculous underscores doing there in the middle of your names anyway Leon?)”
Pay attention, do your own research, and discover the reason all by yourself.
It’s not that difficult a task for intelligent people.
I can see where you would have a problem with all that flogging you’ve done to your brain.
Enjoy your weekend,

Dear Leon:
“Plagiary”-please define just what this word is Dr. Suess and don’t make it up-we have real dictionaries here. Plagiary-nice.
I’d like to tenure that big, expansive open space that resides between your oversized, floppy ears. You should really be a Dummycrat. Are you?
Have you bought your ticket to Irak yet. Tenured-bollocks. I am sitting here with an Kurdistan Residency Permit you blowhard.
Another word about Mr. Harmonand I’ll have you on a stool at Abu Gharib. Bring extra batteries! Hug and kisses.
Yours,
IM Flogginbottoms IV
PS:(for numbskulls like you pronounced the Forth)
