After Betty Draper (January Jones) showed
a surprising interest in politics in Sunday's "Mad Men" episode
(actually, more of an interest in one particular bureaucrat), Politico notes that Jones "lobbied Capitol Hill Tuesday on behalf of shark conservation."
"Jones, who is the
new spokesperson for Oceana's campaign to save sharks, urged Congress to pass
the Shark Conservation Act of 2009. The legislation would "close loopholes in
existing legislation and put an end to shark finning, the process of cutting off
the fins and discarding the carcass at sea," according to Oceana."
