Fishing for Smarts

Maybe there is something magical between fathers and sons about the number 7? Mark Twain is famous, among other reasons, for noticing how smart his dad had become as the author was aging from 14 to 21. President Bush 43, in a little bit of trouble nearly 7 years into his term, has decided that having ignored 41's example of leaving well enough alone in Iraq and trying to get along with other countries, it might be time to call the old boy in for some help. So, it's time to go fishing with dad and let the elder try and reel in Russian President Putin.
