Damn, it's such good advice: He should forget entirely about reelection and focus solely on helping the nation at a critical time. He should dismiss the people who helped him win the election and bring in people who are above…
LOL . And those dastardly puzzlers also betray an evil fondness for Arab cities , the Spanish language , Hindu royalty , Hawaiian fowl , and these dreadful things: ADDED: A poll! What's the crossword puzzle's favorite mus…
