HLC-004 Robert Durst’s Bathroom Bill




Harvard Lunch Club Political Podcast  show

Summary: Here are our topics for show number 4: Robert Durst's Bathroom Bill 1 - Robert Durst may pay a heavy price for one trip to the bathroom, as it sure sounded like he was confessing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcZwe7OjbGc) as he went to the bathroom and mumbled to himself (and a still live wireless mic), "There it is, you're caught," and "You killed them all, of course." And he's now being held for a murder (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/03/17/letter-not-recording-led-authorities-to-arrest-robert-durst-for-friend-murder/) committed back in 2000. But is this a true "confession" that will make it into court? 2 - Changes in the federal school lunch program, blamed on FLOTUS Michelle Obama, are grossing kids out and leading to tons of waste and declining sales (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/school-adds-ice-cream-nutritional-lunches-sell/story?id=29443068), say many. Some school districts are even forgoing (http://wbay.com/2015/03/10/green-lake-schools-opt-out-of-national-school-lunch-program/) the free federal program! Is the government's desire to control our calories a healthy trend? 3 - Former Heavy Weight Champ Mike Tyson (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/will-jamie-foxx-play-mike-tyson-in-martin-scorsese-film/) will be the focus of a Martin Scorsese film, perhaps with Jamie Foxx playing the lead. And he's been all over the media lately, being fawned over by program hosts. But Tyson served time for rape. Shouldn't he be shunned?(http://harvardlunchclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/HarvardLunchClub-150x150.jpg) In our Hidden Gem song of the week, we'll feature the Eels "Fresh Blood," (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Qp1TEKswQ) that's been featured in the Roberts Durst documentary The Jinx on HBO. It seems to have captured a mood!
