THE TUCKAHOE HARPOON
  AND HOMELAND STAR
7/15/19

A DIAGNOSTIC HYMN
IF YOUR HEART HAS GONE TO WHEEZING LIKE A RUSTED RENTAL PUMP
IF YOUR ORANGE GROVE HAS SUNK INTO A FESTERED FECAL DUMP
IF YOUR CAMEL HAS COME DOWN WITH CARCINOMA OF THE HUMP
IF YOUR MOTOR HOME IS STUCK BETWEEN A SINK-HOLE AND A STUMP
IF MISS LIBERTY HAS SHRIVELED FROM A FAVE INTO A FRUMP
IF THE CRAP THAT YOU’VE BEEN EATING GAVE YOUR GULLET SUCH A LUMP
THAT YOUR VOICE HAS CHANGED TO BLEATING LIKE A SHEEP CAUGHT IN A SUMP
IF YOUR IMAGE IN THE MIRROR OSCILLATES 'TWIXT CHIMP AND CHUMP
IT’S SURE THAT YOU’VE BEEN TUNING IN TOO MUCH TO DONALD TRUMP.

-RANDALL QUEEQUEG First Harpooner (ret.)

THE TUCKAHOE HARPOON AND HOMELAND STAR The truth stings June 4, 2018 Late last week it was made public that, some time before the presidential election, President Obama had been informed, by reliable sources, of the Russian cyberattack on the American election.  In an effort to send a powerful bipartisan caution to voters, he reached out to Republican Mitch McConnell, but McConnell, for partisan political reasons (if not worse), refused to cooperate.  In so refusing, McConnell became party to a treasonable outrage against the election and the US Constitution.  Though he’s unlikely to suffer punishment for this crime, Mother Nature is meting out a sentence of its own, giving him each day, more and more, the appearance of a prospective Winn-Dixie fryer.  We expect a second, more substantive punishment at the polls in November. -the Board
THE TUCKAHOE HARPOON  AND HOMELAND STAR LAST MAN STANDING:  TRUMP, COMEY, MCCABE, WRAY, MUELLER As of the end of January, 2018, Donald Trump is in deep trouble.  We know this not only because of documented and published statements and events, but also because of the political gymnastics, acrobatics and contortions that Trump and his associates have engaged in to thwart, distort, delay, and discourage the Mueller Collusion/obstruction inquiry.  Recent news about Trump, to the effect that he is planning to remove Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, suggests that Trump's pushback has gone desperate.  The tactical implications of such a move are transparent.  Replacing Rosenstein with a Trump parasite would allow said parasite to fire Robert Mueller on 'Trumped-up' charges.  Pulling the same stunt with FBI Director Chris Wray would endanger the voluminous records already compiled by the Mueller team.   Hoping that we're wron...
