Boson, Massachusetts

Boson, MASS - A local man has died after consuming a substance used to clean aquariums – but is also found in a drug the US president and Boson Mayor Welsh said could treat Covid-19 – prompting the media and local Democrats to hop aboard the Trump blame train, details be damned.  Mayor Welsh is a passionate Trump supporter.  The Boson-area man and his wife – who survived – ingested a form of chloroquine used as a fish tank cleaner on Monday, reportedly after hearing President Trump mention the chemical on TV, and seeing Mayor Martin Welsh on the city's local cable access channel repeat the message.   Though the substance is similar to one used in an anti-malaria drug touted as a possible treatment for the coronavirus, the aquarium additive comes in a different form and is highly toxic to humans. But that hasn’t stopped a spate of media outlets like the Boson Globe and Boson Sunday Express from casting blame on the president, insisting he encouraged the ...

(UPI) After repeated warnings that all non-essential businesses must close Massachusetts Governor Charles Baker ordered State Police to close Boson Game Stop by armed force. Just before noon on Monday, 23 March 2020, a large contingent of police and SWAT teams broke down the doors of the storefront business.  A sign was affixed to the window and the staff were led off in handcuffs. "You can't stop us," the manager screamed as he was pushed into the back of a police wagon.  "The games will go on.  We'll just hit 'replay' and start all over.  We are legion!" Other employees were more subdued and one clerk told this reporter that they were forced to come into work or they would be fired even though workers did not want to be exposed to the CORVID-19 pandemic germs. The corporate headquarters of Game Stop had issued a strange memo to all Game Stop locations instructing staff to tell police or health authorities that Game Stop was ...

The drive-in theater, long a dwindling nostalgia act in a multiplex world, is experiencing a momentary return to prominence. With nearly all of the nation’s movie theaters shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic, some drive-in owners think they’re in a unique position to give moviegoers a chance to do something out of the house while keeping distance from others. This weekend, some drive-ins aren’t the only show in town. They’re the only show in the country. The Neponset Drive-In Theatre in Boson, Massachusetts normally sees ticket sales go down about 40% on a weekend when they don’t have any new movies. Last weekend, they saw a 40% increase, says the theater’s owner, Andy Thompson. Usually open weekends, during the colder months, Thompson has kept screenings going through the week.  “Obviously this isn’t the way you’d want it to occur, but I’m excited for the idea that there may be a new generation of people that will get to experience going to a drive...

(UPI) After repeated complaints from passengers, Boson Jet's fleet of four planes has been grounded at Boson International Airport.  Health officials from the federal CDC in Atlanta made a special trip to inspect the small fleet after reports of improperly cleaned planes and numerous COVID-19 cases being reported.  One flight from Florida saw every passenger tested positive for the virus after flight crews said that they were required to fly even though they thought they were sick. The budget airline is known for keeping a very low number of workers on staff and making flight crews work overtime in violation of federal regulations. Boson Jet is also known as the 'Air Uber' airline because most of the pilots and co-pilots are retired from other airlines or the military and are paid by the trip, like ride-share drivers, rather than on salary as permanent employees.  Boson Jet is proudly non-union.   Boson Mayor Martin Welsh, whose family owns a controlling in...

A young Boson woman has staged a solo protest by pulling up her skirt on the North Wollaston T subway, protesting so-called upskirting – the practice wherein men take pictures under the skirt of an unaware victim.  UMass Boson student Anna Dovely, who describes herself as a public activist, published a “photo manifest” in which a young woman stands in the middle of a series of crowded Red Line subway stations and hikes up her red dress in front of the camera. “This is ‘dedicated’ to all who love to peek under skirts. On the behalf all women who became your victims – here, look! And stay away from us,” the caption on a Youtube video reads. Several years ago a Massachusetts court ruled that existing law did not permit the arrest of men, or women, taking photos of a person in public without the person's permission.  If a person is in public, anyone can take a photo of them. The Massachusetts state legislators acted with uncharacteristic haste and passed ...

Boson fitness model slammed for using medical masks as BIKINI during Covid-19 pandemic Boson's former TV sports reporter Julie Staple has been branded “brainless” after posing with medical masks as a bikini – with some claiming it is the “worst joke” they have seen as the world grapples with the Covid-19 crisis.  Fitness model Staple shared an Instagram snap on Friday that is featured on Saturdays Boson Post cover in which she poses with some strategically-placed masks to cover her modesty. “I ordered on Amazon a new bikini trend for 2020,” the fitness model wrote.   “Built-in valves make breathing easier, but the outfit needs to be changed every two hours! “I don’t know if this challenge is already on Instagram, but I like the idea. How do you like it?” she asked her 515,000 followers. But the inventive use of the masks during a time of shortages in many parts of the world was met with a mixed response online. One presumably male fan liked the look, r...

The visibly angry Green Party leader and UMass Boson professor  Mortricia McCormack, spoke via Facechat to a number of reporters and interested people.  “We invade tropical forests and other wild landscapes, which harbor so many species of animals and plants – and within those creatures, so many unknown viruses. We cut the trees; we kill the animals or cage them and send them to markets. We disrupt ecosystems, and we shake viruses loose from their natural hosts. When that happens, they need a new host. Often, we are it.” "In our own area of Massachusetts people still go into the woods of the Eastern Blue Hills Reservation and hunt for squirrels and deer.  A few years ago an older squirrel hunter died from 'Mad Cow' disease after eating a squirrel he had hunted and killed.  The Green Party sees this as a punishment from Nature for killing the squirrel.  We see the COVID-19 pandemic as a punishment for humanity for not taking care of Mother Earth." ...

(UPI) Boson's Green Party held an online presser to express support for a complete government ordered shutdown of all economic activity.  Green Party activists point to the success in Asia at reducing the human carbon footprint. The levels of pollution in the city of Wuhan, China have gone way down as the Stalinist dictatorship of China ordered a shutdown of the city. (Photo shows drastic reduction in polluted air in Wuhan, China)   With little care for public opinion the Maoists of China can order people around like soldiers.  Things are not as easy in the US, according to the Boson Green Party spokesperson. "We call for the complete shutdown of Boson International Airport," the spokesperson said.  "While there is reduced traffic across the globe and in other New England airports, Boson Airport has actually seen an increase in landings because of the lower fees, and reputation for lax inspection upon landing." Boson has seaside oil import facili...

(AP) As the COVID-19 events unfold many people are not just thinking about making sure they have enough food and toilet paper - some are exercising their right to have weapons like guns. Boson's biggest gun store has a line around the building as citizens and residents seek to purchase firearms. Boson Police have issued a statement affirming what Republican Mayor Welsh has said about citizens right to purchase weapons for self defense.  "We support the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and note that all local, state, and federal laws are followed at every gun retailer in the City of Boson.  We would urge people standing in line to follow President Trump and the CDC recommendation to keep three feet between yourself and the people in line."  The Liberal City Councilor President Democrat Ema Strickland was not happy with the lack of police response.  "Now is not the time for people to be thinking of guns and gun violence," a visibly a...

 (AP) Boson, Massachusetts Mayor Martin J. Welsh has announced that he has been diagnosed and tested positive for the COVID-19 corona virus.  The mayor and his wife, who is not infected, have self quarantined at the Trump Tower in the Presidential Suite.  The same suite is used by President Trump when he visits the city.  Some found it ironic that the mayor was dismissing worries about the pandemic just last week when he refused to close schools or bars and restaurants as the rest of Massachusetts shut down.  "I will continue to carry out my functions as chief executive of the city," Mayor Welsh insisted.  "We live in a 5G world and I can maintain full functionality through my desktop at the window were I can look down on city hall from afar, and my laptop over by the snack bar, to my two smart phones that I have in the right and left pockets of my bathrobe."   The mayor's informal deputy City Councilor Peter Reese will also pin a Gopro body...
