Boston set to relaunch Tea Party museum

Reopening to great fanfare after a slow and rocky brew

Three hours.

That is how long it took a band of defiant Colonists to hack 340 canvas-covered wooden crates of English-owned tea into pieces and throw them into Boston Harbor. A few short months later, a fledgling nation would be embroiled in an all-out war against a superpower.

I knew the Mayor leaned right in the presence of Scott Brown but I never realized he would come right out in support of the Tea Party. Kidding, good lock to the museum...I shutter every time I think of a Boston moment in history usurped by the kooky right wingers.
