preach it sista.
Right on, Tam!
Well played Madam!
Sigh...sad but true.
That's excellent.
Zing!
Given the exchange rate, how much do you think they'd charge to do it again?
Please include the word "spanner" in your response.
Ouch
And the Queen of Snark reigns on...

We only burned one house, and the guy who lived there didn't own the place, he was just an employee who received free lodging. His name was Mason or Madison, something that starts with an M.
American troops had previously burned down private residences in Port Dover and York (a violation of the Laws of War) as well as the Upper Canada Legislature.

I've got 52 cannon in Boston that won't let the Brits tash my tax money again! Lol!
If there must be trashing, then let us donit ourselves.
Ulises from CA
Oooooo, that's gonna leave a mark.
Ok, so the British burned Washington. But what have they done for us LATELY?
Man, we help them in TWO world wars and we can't even count on them to finish burning DC. Is that so much to ask?
Empress. Empress of Snark.
I have to find my copy of "The Man Who Burned the White House" to be sure, but I think there were a couple of other government buildings burned.
