30days

I found this show while cruising iTunes. It is on FX network, but I don’t get that network. The show stars Morgan Spurlock from “Super Size Me” which is an amazing movie/book about a man who decided to eat nothing but McDonalds for 30 days. Everyone should see the episodes about Immigration and Minimum Wage. In the Immigration episode, Morgan has an anti-immigration American actually a Cuban American!) live with a family of illegal Mexican immigrants in LA for 30 days. I showed it to my kids. We were blown away. As some of you know, I am not a fan of US immigration policies. In Minimum Wage, Morgan and his fiancee move to a new city and try to live off of minimum wage for 30 days. Also quite amazing. I think these episodes can change your view on life in America.

Who do You Give your Free Magazines to?

Posted in Personal on November 1st, 2006

I get all these offers like “renew your subscription to Inc. magazine and send free a gift subscription to a friend.” If you want to be my friend and get gift subscriptions to my magazines (like Inc. when it runs out), let me know. Even better, if you are also a subscriber and got the same offer, make me your friend and give me your gift subscriptions and I will save my money. Magazine buddy, where are you?
