Today On TOTN: 2008 In Review, Plus A Rudin Christmas Poem

Make sure to tune in today to NPR's Talk of the Nation. It's the last Political Junkie segment of the year, a jam-packed program that includes:

-- the latest campaign news;

-- a special review of politics in this amazing year of 2008;

-- a farewell to some political giants who passed on; and, most troublesome ...

-- my attempt at a Night Before Christmas poem.

Remember, the Political Junkie segment airs every Wednesday at 2 p.m. Eastern time on Talk of the Nation, NPR's call-in program, where you can often, but not always, find interesting conversation, useless trivia questions and sparkling jokes.

And remember, if your local NPR station doesn't carry TOTN, you can hear the program on the Web or on HD radio. And if you are a subscriber to XM/Sirius radio, you can find the show there as well (siriusly).

(You can listen to last week's show here.)

No Junkie blog or TOTN Junkie segment next week. No "It's All Politics" podcast this week, but there will be one next week.

Chappy Chanukah, Merry Christmas, and a safe, healthy and Happy New Year to all!
