And what was our third lady?  She was the charming hostess which
gave Mssr. Madison and his Tidy War the grace and charm it needed
to be supported by the good and erudite folks of the U.S. congress.

So you see, I know the brand name of the product that Red Sno-Balls
are licensed under, but I prefer to preserve the spirit of our oh-so-elegant
lady of the White House (nay, its first real curator) and not focus on
the corporate conglomerate which among other things also owns
a 4% share in Nuqfuhumu Polycarbonates, which now owns the
rights to Imipolex.

I dust off my whig and say to thee, pick up thy glove, and let us become
more Hamilton and less Burr..

What say you, prithee?
