The Passion of the Monz!

The editors were up very early this morning, even by their standards, so they took the opportunity to catch up on a lost love: cable tv infomercials. First up it's our beloved Matthew Lesko, doing skit routines to promote a follow-up to his book "Free Money to Change Your Life" (this one also about free government money to change your life, but more business oriented). And dangit does he aim an arrow at our hearts by showing pictures of his family and how they scammed, er, took advantage of government opportunities for home businesses. Next is Don Lapre, the man who gave the EIC an inferiority complex, not because he was rich, not because he was excited, but because he illustrated his rags-to-excited-riches story by telling us the sob story of his no-college/one bedroom apartment days (when the EIC had plenty of college and lived in a studio/convertable). Friends, did you know the EIC and the Monz once had plans to place thousands of classified ads? We don't recall for what product, but those ads were going to be sassy, let us tell you! Anyway, Don is now hawking the greatest vitamins in the world!. (Ok, probably not, but the health editor does endorse food-based vitamins over most of the ones you find at the drugstore). After that it's several Kevin Trudeau wannabes touting things like seaweed extract as the cure for whatever ails you. Alas we could not find the original infomercialman who taught us to live with passion!

Now some say that passion is the enemy of intelligence. Not Monz! He's quite passionate about today's smart choice Tex-Mex wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla, an orange, and a combative choice of vegatable beloved by kwayzee wabbits everywhere.
