It's Friday, ya bastids!

Randi's on vacation, but Nicole Sandler's in with another live show today, featuring the latest news on the cliffy talks, some great guests, your calls, and more of our year-end wrap-up.

One of the leading topics for 2012 on any legitimate year-end list must be healthcare. Rick Ungar of Forbes.com has been on top of this issue for several years now and will recap what happened in 2012 in healthcare--and preview what scams we should be on the lookout for in 2013.

John Nichols of The Nation will talk about the Left's political and social successes in 2012, as he helps us recap The Nation magazine's 2012 Progressive Honor Roll.

Finally, Nicole will take a look at some of the highlights and lowlights in 2012, including a look back at those who passed, and the abysmal record of the do-nothing 112th Congress.

Call Nicole today at 866-87-RANDI (866-877-2634)
