Er, tea party?

My bosses have got me reading Ragan.com's daily communicator blog things. Today there's a a rather incoherent opinion piece up. Apparently... someone made some kind of decision about taxes in the US? And people didn't like it so they poured tea into miscellaneous waterways?

I get the *reference* (Boston Tea party), but the opinion piece is more incoherent than Miranda Devine, so I can't actually tell what happened. The SMH isn't helping me. Any helpful American types on my flist got links to helpful American type papers?

I ate goat!

It was delicious.
