Capitalism & Slavery
By Eric Eustace Williams
see related

ever tried reading extremely dense marxist political and economic theory and then just when you kind of get the jargon down, some brainiac, red-goateed midwestern professor tells you to think about it in the context of slavery but not really because pretentious jargon kills your ability to comprehend the gross human bodily suffering occasioned by the almighty dollar and its ghosty pal speculative finance? 

just a question.

The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World
By Elaine Scarry

it's becoming increasingly obvious to me that i must have been playing quite the joke on myself when i decided way back in september to do a mini field essay on torture, pain, embodiment, and political subjectivity, focusing loosely on abu ghraib.  bc...1) reading is torture and it puts a body in pain...2) holy shit reading is hard....and 3) abu bum lives on down my street at the corner of saint marks ave and fifth ave. 

oh abu bum! in my mind's eye i see your crazed and grizzled visage turning in blank, unnerving suspicion as i walk the dog past your cart full of crap...but i wax poetic.  abu bum has a towel, some old cassette tapes, a stack of torrid romance novels, and some tarp.  he also has a black hooded robe and looks like he should be covered in electrodes and standing arms spread on a box, hence his name: abu bum...hey, but just cause i have a dog and a man with a black hood in my life doesnt mean i'm lyndie england.  i dont have a camera.  you cant see what i do.

Rick Steves' Spain 2006 (Rick Steves' Spain)
By Rick Steves

i get the call today that my family's going to spain for the holidays!  now we might seem all cosmopolitan and such, but please be advised my parents haven't been on a family vacation since our 1987 trek to the lovely and exotic Dollywood...mmmm....breasts.  tasty, succulent breasts!  about fifteen years ago my father bought an oil painting of a spanish lady dancer with a heaving bosom and tried to pass it off as "art" that should be prominently displayed.  my mother promptly hung it in my dad's computer room (read: storage closet accessorized with a tempermental computer he built himself out of pluck and tin cans).  You can catch him there every night obsessively monitoring his vanguard mutual fund performance and swooning beneath our spanish lady's languid black eyes.  i have a feeling she's the extra push that occasioned his holiday extravagance.  i wouldnt be shocked if he met me at the gate in barcelona with his arm around her golden baroque framed shoulders.  actually, i would.  he's a stingy little man and he'd never pay to ship a painted lady on a transnational holiday.  i mean besides my mom.  yeah.
