Niall Ferguson

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader already knows what he will be doing around noon on Sunday. He will be watching Book TV on C-Span. If you haven't read Ferguson's book Empire, your Maximum Leader commends it to you.

Your Maximum Leader saw a teaser for Ferguson's talk on Sunday. The teaser was part of a pre-recorded portion of the show. In it he was discussing the failure of the US to make good on the aftereffects of the Iraqi takeover. (Your Maximum Leader paraphrases....) It should be interesting. Your Maximum Leader hopes to give a review afterwards.

Carry on.
