The year is almost over, and it’s certainly been an eventful one. We’ve seen a new president, some huge bank bailouts, a dramatic election season and we’re closer than we’ve ever been to national health care reform-whether that’s a good thing or not.

It’s also about to be 2010 and the end of a decade that Time magazine suggested might’ve been the worst ever. Hyperbole? We’ll discuss the year that was and the decade that was with a roundtable of our favorite guests, including Katrina vanden Heuvel of <a href=”/” target=”_blank”>The Nation, Mark Green of target=”_blank”>Air America, Danny Schechter of <a href=”http://www.newsdissector.org/dissectorville/” target=”_blank”>News Dissector, Max Blumenthal, author of <a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1568583982?ie=UTF8&tag= lauraflanders-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN= 1568583982″>Republican Gomorrah, Maya Wiley of the <a href=”http://www.centerforsocialinclusion.org/” target=”_blank”>Center for Social Inclusion !important” src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lauraflanders-20&l=as2&o=1&a= 1568583982″ border=”0″ alt=”” width=”1″ height=”1″ />, Faye Wattleton of the target=”_blank”>Center for the Advancement of Women, and <a href=”http://www.nancygiles.com/” target=”_blank”>Nancy Giles of CBS News Sunday Morning.
