The Week

For Christmas my Aunt Laura and Uncle Philip gave me a subscription to a magazine called "The Week". This is a great magazine and I highly recommend it. "The Week" pulls the best in all US and Foreign media and puts it into one weekly magazine. It is a great idea if you think about it.

Well I got my first issue last week, and I have been reading through it and really enjoy it. At the very least it is a good bathroom read. I came across an article that I found hilarious, and I wanted to share it.

Its an article about police pulling people over and giving them Starbucks Gift Cards. I freak out when I get pulled over, wondering what I did and how I am going to talk my way out of the ticket I am probably going to get. The last thing I would need is to deal with that stress only to find out I am getting a Starbuck's Gift Card. Ridiculous. There has got to be a better way to establish some goodwill between the police department and the motoring public.
