Wait, you're saying that you "saved" it by burning it down? Shall we argue about what the definition of "is" is? Maybe you drank some of what Daniel had?

Well, the Brits only scorched the White House. (It was painted white to hide those marks.) It was in retaliation for the Murcans coming up to York (now Toronto), burning it, and generally having a gay old time. Including letting all our miscreants out of jail to join in the drunken festivities. Alison
