There was one other American left in the wing of that dorm with me, and we didn't think anything of it, because we're both American. By the time I ran into her at the bus stop an hour later, it was all over the country. A man in my age group (which is not young) had been shot going into the gym at 5.30 by masked gunmen.

Not just a drinking song, but an English drinking song which is strange when you consider that the words are a poem about a battle between the Americans and the English where the Americans lost rather badly. The British guns pounded Fort McKinley for hours on end and the Americans could not effectively return fire because the British cannons had a much longer range. The only positive thing that could be said was "Well, at least they didn't hit the flag!" The British later landed in Virginia, marched on Washington and then burned it to the ground. There's a good reason why the War of 1812 is not generally regarded as one of America's finer moments.

I don't know why, but this is the country that deep fries butter and pays to eat it. A lot of cultures inter-marry when in America. I have a friend who is half Japanese Hawaiian, half Irish married to a man who came over from France (who is now working for NASA).
