Boson's Kabuki Theatre Asks Politicians of Both Parties To Stop Using Their Name As An Insult


 (AP) A visibly angry Jason Johns, Director of the Boson Kabubi Dinner Theatre in Uptown Boson held a hastily convened presser on the steps of the establishment that offers the public the traditional Japanese drama performances as well as a full dinner at an affordable price.  Because there is no talking during the Kabuki play the customers can converse and make noise at their table without interrupting the performance.  

However this virtue has also cause the phrase "Kabuki theater" to enter the political lexicon meaning a slow moving performance designed to take up time.  Perhaps the leader of a legislative body does not want a law to pass.  Instead of coming out against the measure directly and saying what they think, the leaders allow the bill to move through the legislative process slowly and ineffectively.  The liken this to the slow moving Kabuki plays they have seen a little of or heard of.  So.... an insult is born for those who love Kabuki theater.  

"We were just getting our business open again," Jason Johns said as he pulled down his mask.  "Okay, 25% capacity, people spread out, the performers in the plays were spread out.  The Kabuki actors were wearing masks under their masks. Okay... Then political season hits.  Both Democrats and Republicans use "Kabuki theater" to describe their opponents." Jason Johns threw his hands up in frustration.  "Even in Boson's mayoral election Councilor Strickland called Mayor Welsh's health department meetings about COVID 'Kabuki theater' and then Mayor Welsh said the city council meetings were 'Kabuki theater.  Enough! Leave us out of it!"

Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As

UMass Boson Prof: 'The only solution for climate change is letting the human race become extinct'

Image
  A Boson academic has proposed a radical new way to solve climate change – letting humanity become extinct. Mortricia McCormack, a professor of continental philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Boson, has just released her new book The Anti-human Manifesto , which will officially be launched in Cambridge today (Wednesday, February 5 2020 ). The book argues that due to the damage done to other living creatures on Earth, we should start gradually phasing out reproduction. But rather than offering a bleak look at the future of humanity, it has generated discussion due to its joyful and optimistic tone, as it sets out a positive view for the future of Earth - without mankind. It also touches on several hot-button topics, from religion and veganism to the concept of identity politics, tying these into how the creation of a hierarchal world among humans has left us blind to the destruction we are causing to our habitat and other forms of life.
