NPR: The Political Junkie Will Return In 2009

The Political Junkie Will Return In 2009

It was a remarkable, unpredictable, topsy-turvy year, not the least of which is that, for the first time in history, the U.S. has elected a president born in Hawaii.

I will be pondering that one all week, along with writing up my New Year's resolutions and plotting new things to bring to this column (oops, "blog"). Any thoughts, comments, ideas, criticism or cash, send them my way at politicaljunkie@npr.org.

The Political Junkie returns on Monday, Jan. 5, 2009. Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and Happy New Year!
