The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 24, 2010

Political ads seem to be getting more and more bizarre.  Brooke Gladstone and Bob Garfield, the co-hosts of NPR's On the Media, have a new web-series where they break down the strangest political ads of the election season.  Plus, the Thirty Issues in Thirty Days series takes a look at the role that climate change solutions will play in the midterm elections; Barbara Ehrenreich on why America is too optimistic; the state of (no longer so) young radical Americans; and more global English.
