Monique, No, no, no, it's not the Gaspee! It's the (sort of) replica of the Brig Beaver of Boston Tea Party fame. This was the infamous Bristol fourth of July float that the tea party entered!

A thousand apologies, BobC! The tea heaped on the deck should have given me a clue.

Which Joe Wilson for president. The lout who shouted out in a joint session of congress or the ambassador whose wife was outed as a CIA operative by members of the previous administration?
