...write a lot about rap both at the Onion and in the book. I really identified with hip-hop growing up. There was this incredibly pure anger, sort of free-floating rage towards everything and everyone. And growing up in a group home for emotionally disturbed adolescents, my God, we just inhabited that space. We were able to take the hip-hop tropes - hating authority, and hating the police - and use it for our own lives. It felt so empowering that you could come from nothing and become a god. Like all fantasies, it was an illusion. If you look...

So, yes, the recent volatility in the oil market can certainly be attributed to speculation, but speculation cannot support an extended price rally.

Those figures, according to Rehm's study, mean that "globally, the effect of alcohol...
...search of pure high-octane kitchen action, though, In the Kitchen is unfortunately a bit of a drag. Although they resemble each other in their manic masculinity, Ali's kitchen turns out to be the inverse of Bourdain's, and it demonstrates exactly what made Kitchen Confidential so appealing. The Bourdainian kitchen is not a muddle. It is in fact the last redoubt of clarity in a muddled world. Hot and filthy it may be, but it's the place where all the stuff that bedevils the modern human's attempts to pull together a stable, clear identity - race, class...
