The HardWood Story...


What should we call this saga?
Listeners suggest:

1. "HARWOOD FLAWS" (the "d" is silent, no?...and "floors" and "flaws" are pronounced the same in Rhode Island!:)

2. ( Political campaign "headline"....."The "Head" Start Program, fully supported by Harwood and his staff...")

3. Harwood strongly encourages his staff to embrace the motto: "it is better to give than to receive"...OR.... "Getting ahead by giving, uh, head.." (sorry)

4. Chicago may be the windy city, but Providence is the Wendy city (there's a lot of blowing going on, no matter how you look at it!:)

5. Harwood is such a blowhard! (Wait!... blowhard.. hardwood... harwood.... blowhardwood.. blowhar.... hmmm, it's all starting to make sense now... )

Keep up the fabulous job, John! Proud of your performance on Imus...... Hugs & kisses (and it stops right there,man...) Caroline


  • I think that with all of the issues regarding Separation of Powers, that the proper name for this would be: The Separation of Lips Scandal
  • WOODYDOME
  • JOB SECURITY: YA GOTTA GO ALL THE WAY
  • Hardwood
  • ASSUMING A POSITION ON THE HARWOOD STAFF: IT HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS
  • WENDYWOOD
  • I think "Blow my Dome" fits nicely.
  • HEADwood-gate
  • For a catchy name for the Harwood/Wendy Saga, how about "FOLLYBALL"?
  • How about Sticks and Dicks, a little reference to Hardwoods hockey days.
  • Harwoody Gate
  • HARD-ONDOME
  • From John's prospective it would be Wendy's Dome
  • THE WARREN BEATTEY OF RHODE ISLAND, JOHN B. HARWOOD
  • How about SLUMBERDOME?
  • Maybe KNEEGATE?

 

Poems


Hardwood's face is red,
His unit is blue,
Friends and power are gone,
Pray tell John, NOW who will you screw????

little girl blue......................she needed the money!!!!

Family court is where they met
He thought he'd hire her and make her his pet
Wendy wanted a job but now we all know
John's idea of a job started with blow

Room 126 is where they'd meet
She would work hard but not on her feet
For him she was only there to please
All of her work was done on her knees

She felt ashamed and threatened a scandal
The pressure was more than he could handle
He got her some cash and a job to settle
But Indy caught wind and began to meddle

He blew it wide open
No pun intended
Now the whole state
Is quite offended

Even his supporters
Are asking him to go
Maybe he can get a job
At WPRO


— Slain

'Twas the day after Plunder Dome and all through the house
not a not a legislator was stirring not even a mouse.

I was sitting there reading about Buddy and crew when down the hall I heard such a clatter
so I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.

I was taken by surprise when what to my wondering eyes
should appear but a scantly clad lady and John Harwood Oh Dear!

Down the hall they ran to the chambers they went with she in a skirt and he in tails
I thought to myself compared to this Plunder Dome Fails.

— Tom Cardillo
