Fire and Fury: People of low intellect flock to buy crap book by crap author saying really stupid things about Trump...
*and I couldn't care less.* Let's make something very clear: I don't like Obama. Actually I loathe the guy, but if someone put out a clearly ridiculous book that quotes people saying things they never said, claims access to the White House he never had, or babbles on about such things as Obama having smelly feet, I would neither buy it or waste my time reading it. Now we have people running about and having hissy fits over the whole issue of a silly book, Fire and Fury, written by a silly man, Michael Wolff, with about as much credibility as my kitteh Erica.

Kant in *Observations* longs for a woman with whom to make a “united pair” that would “as it were constitute a single moral person,” a woman who would both “refine” and “ennoble” him, and, most of all, a female *friend* who would unite beauty and nobility of soul and who “can never be valued ... more »

Iraq Oil Exports Reach New High In Dec While Prices Recover As Well
Iraq achieved a new high in its oil exports in December 2017. This was more remarkable because those sales all came from the south. Kirkuk’s fields have been off line since October when the federal government took over the province from the Kurds. At the same time, prices have been slowly climbing upwards making the last month of 2017 the highest monthly revenue since 2014. In December, Iraq exportedan average of 3.535 million barrels a day.

We Can't Go Back
Justin Trudeau likes to proclaim that, "Canada is back." Paul Koring writes that it's: a statement that evokes a vague, nostalgic yearning to recreate a once-proud international reputation.

In Canada’s case, being “back” seems to suggest a return to the heady decades of the Cold War, when Canada was widely admired for its founding role at the United Nations, its commitment to peacekeep... more »

“Civil War”
*“Civil War”* by The Zman "Over the holidays, this was a topic on one of the e-mail lists I read. Oddly, it is a list about statistics, but the topic got a lot of replies.
