Thom Hartmann on the story of the real tea party (spoiler: it was really about protesting a corporate tax cut).
"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

That's really interesting. I read an article about 'The Boston Tea Party' recently but I don't think it made reference to a first hand account. The British East India Company was immensely powerful and also governed India up until The Indian Mutiny in 1858.

I found the article about the 'Boston Tea Party'. It portrays the 'Boston tea Party' as an event which had global origins and a global legacy. In the article it says: "no one knows for sure who they were, or exactly how many of them were there'. The book mentioned by Thom Hartman clearly mentioned George Robert Twelvetree Hughes as having written a first hand account of the protest, a fact which obviously wasn't known to the author of 'Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party and the making of America.'

I was watching the TV programme 'Coast' yesterday evening and it featured this amazing photograph:
Notice the lighthouse keeper standing casually in the doorway!

Last week, the episode of 'Coast' that aired here had us all huddled up on the sofa wallowing in homesickness, as they toured the south coast of Ireland. (No, I didn't spot our house; it's half mile inland).

A young Barack Obama. Obviously, his birth certificate doesn't list his religion as Muslim, it says "Pastafarian"!

I can't match that but I used to be able to knock the top off a bottle of Grolsch with one finger.

But you're wrong, .ru is the extension for russian domains. Romanian domains is at .ro. Your point still valid though.
