Tensions get high, the temperature rises, and partisan pride starts kicking in. Finally people start going crazy. This is exactly what happened on Monday when the Nationalist Convention was bombed by none other than Ben T. Paul from Washington City in McClelland County. You may have heard about him before. It all started when Ben ran for mayor of his city. He had an interesting idea, such as a buddy system for kids in school that would allow them to get to know each other better while at the same time prevent kidnapping. However, the residents of McClelland County did not for vote him for mayor. In his anger, Ben decided to use desperate measures to get some kind of recognition from the citizens of Boys State. During the second session of the Nationalist Convention on Monday, he ran in with what appeared to be a Cheeze-It box with wires coming out of it. The bomb could have been detonated with what looked to be a cell phone. It was very unfortunate for the Nationalist members who were too close to the bomb. We still remember and honor them for their dedication to Boys State and its government. It is suspected that Ben’s behavior had sprung from the injury to the head that he had experienced on Monday morning. Ben, who was wearing heavy protective gear, was dragged from the convention by a staff member. He was heard saying something to the effect of, “Down with the Nats, Feds for life!” Is this really what you wanted, Ben?
