Uncle Jay has a quick congratulations for Michael Phelps, and then: Britney Spears! Paris Hilton! Barack Obama! John McCain! You’ll be thrilled to know that none of these people are in this week’s episode. We go straight to Men’s Synchronized Bombing, which Russia might sweep. Uncle Jay explains it all, and earns a Cement Medal.

This excerpt is from the Aug. 18 episode of one of my favorite vidcasts, Uncle Jay Explains the News. In it, he explains how a recent bit of news-business insanity (15,000 journalists covering each of the national political conventions) might actually be a masterful move by news-org staffing strategists.
