Nice picture, but I’ve yet to find the palm trees in Boston. Almost as rare as finding a new sidewalk. LT

I fully support the law against spitting on a sidewalk. It’s so gross especially this time of year when that nasty salive freezes for weeks on end.

If you enforce the no spitting law, Chinatown will be empty in a week.

It’s illegal to make clam chowder with tomatoes (obscure law, but not dumb, IMO).

Re: “it’s still against the law in Massachusetts to be affiliated with the Communist Party.”
I guess the next time a someone claims that another politician is a communist or subjecting us to communism we can tell him to call the police to have him or her arrested. Or stop hyperventilating.

Rob Cleary
How can you have a law against communism and not arrest every Democrat in the State?
