   Thanks for giving me some laughs to kick off the week! We all missed you last week.

   And you’re sure about that “couth” thing?

   Loved the photo of Putin and Obama at the “children’s table”! HA!

   Uncle Jay,

   I LOVE what you do,…BUT,…how do you do it with a straight face?

   What is Sarah Palin doing? She has shown herself to be a flake. I doubt that anyone in their right mind would vote for someone who is leaving their elected office early just because there are bigger and better things out there. Of course, there is the issue of her knowledge of basic geography and economics also.

   Palin, leaving office may be the best thing for Alaska
   and our country. Let’s hope she gets a job at wal-mart
   and fades away all together. We don’t need the embarassment she brought to a good party.

   Uncle Jay
   Your news is not just for children. You’ve elevated it high above the networks’ infantile (totally slanted and bias) explanations and given it color, life, and understanding. You’ve put back real humor into what can be most depressing information, and do while not losing its newsworthiness.

   Barack Nobama and his cronies, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dobbs, Rankin, (actually any and all demos associated with Nobama) are an embarassment to America. These liberals only existence is to be an example of what not to be. If the American people do the exact opposite of what these people are suggesting, the human race will survive.

   Uncle Jay,

   I was shocked that you would make fun of Sarah Palin because she has faith. Come on. Lots of great Americans have faith. Why is it such a threat? I thought you liberals prided yourselves for your open-mindedness?

    Oh what dark times are these when GM stands for “Government Motors”? When Saturday Night Live can do more to make a woman in politics look like a complete idiot than anything she actually said or did? When the world is far more concerned with the death of Michael Jackson (who 95% of the country thought was guilty during his trial) than, well, pretty much anything else besides breathing? And when women of exceptional, um, form, cannot climb the stairs without getting “examined” by the leaders of the western world (and having her “exceptional” regions published on the front of every newspaper in America.)
    ‘Tis a dark day indeed for humanity, let us hope that we may rise above these trying times and some day find a media that has better things to look at and elect leaders who will not try to make our cars.

    Uncle Jay – A friend showed my your 1/2 year in review, and I got hooked! It’s often said that humor is best for what ails you, and the things you write about sure do ail us. So thank-you!
    Although I was saddened to see that Sarah Palin wasn’t given any benefit of the doubt considering what the frivolous lawsuits/smear campaign against her are doing to Alaska….
    But other than that, everything you said gave me a good laugh.

    Hey UJ, You looked a little tired. Or… maybe it’s just that I AM so very tired these days, that I’m projecting (whatever that is). I hope you’re well. Thanks for the weekly bit of fun. James

    What about disgruntled? I’m still looking for a gruntled postal worker. And when I think about it, being gruntled actually sounds MORE unpleasant than being disgruntled.

    English. It’s weird.

    Hey there Uncle Jay!
    In spite of having my own firm opinions, I must say that I appreciate the neutral stand you seem to take in most matters. It makes your show interesting and fun for people of both parties! There is a place for standing for what one believes and all that, but one person here and there who throw in approval or disapproval for both sides is a nice thing. Much thanks!
