Press Play with Madeleine Brand
So Cal Political Races, Infomercials & a Bullying Law
President Obama fundraises in California, a guide to LA's local political races, the death of the infomercial, movies for Mother's Day, and criminalizing bullying.
By Madeleine Brand • • 52m ListenPresident Obama is back in California for another round of big-ticket fundraisers. But the President isn’t running for office anymore, so where’s all that money going? We also run down the big So Cal races: Waxman’s Congressional seat, two seats on the LA County Board of Supervisors, and the race for LA County sheriff. The Bacon Bowl, the ShamWow, the Snuggie... the lowly infomercial, could it be disappearing? It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday, and we suggest some great Mother’s Day movies. And, the City of Carson has voted to make bullying a criminal offense. How would you enforce that?
