...became interested in this idea of what happens to our minds when we go into a state of shock and why was this is such a powerful metaphor for both the military and the economic architects of the war. But I still wasn't sure that this was something that went beyond Iraq. When I first used the phrase "disaster capitalism" it was because I had found out that something very similar was happening in Sri Lanka after the Asian tsunami where just days after the tsunami hit the government started pushing a very unpopular privatization agenda of water privatization...
...Obama campaign says it isn't worried. "We've tried to pace this thing the right way and keep our blinders on," says Axelrod, fully embracing the hoary horse-race metaphor.

Locating it will tax your orienteering skills to their limit - unless, on your quest through the galleries, you happen to glimpse the attendant Abu Mustapha, which we were lucky enough to do. He will lead you down obscure corridors to an unlabeled door and push it open to reveal a 1,750-year-old Jewish house of worship, painstakingly transported, in its entirety, from...
...Curtis, considering my grandfather is Curtis Sr., his firstborn is Curtis Jr. and I'm his first grandchild, so my mom named me after him. I'm Curtis III, and this is my third album. 50 Cent was a name that kind of stuck. For me, it was a metaphor for change. That's what made me utilize it when I actually started rapping...
