Sorry if this week’s news seems a little late.  By about 40 years!  Everybody talked about Walter Cronkite, plus the historic landing on the moon (wink wink).  They’re just trying to get us ready for next month, when they won’t shut up about Woodstock.

   The Space Men did walk on the moon but the historic tape was erased and so they had to redo it in Hollywood. What’s really amazing, is that those ASTRONAUTs would do just about anything just so they didn’t have to go shopping with their wives.

   Dear Uncle Jay,

   Why was Teddy Kennedy trying to drive his car on water when everybody else was at Woodstock or watching the moon landing?

   Thanks for mentioning. You’re the only commentator who did.

   You are truly amazing, Uncle Jay! For decades, I have listened to the top news broadcasters, from Murrow, Cronkite, Huntley, Brinkley and Harvey, to Wallace, Rather and Williams, and NEVER have I heard a more succinct and enlightening explanation of the constant Middle Eastern conflict than the one you provided in today’s report. Thank you for the wonderful job that you do in explaining the news if this wacky world.

   Thanks for being as “trust”-worthy as ever when delivering the news. I knew Michael Jackson wasn’t the original inventor of the moon-walk!

   if you want to know why there is always war in the middle east, all you gotta do is read the bible, when there is not war, the end will surely be near.

   I had never heard that cronkite and nixon were friends. An interesting piece of history. Tell me, Uncle Jay, is it also true that when they asked Ted
   Kennedy if he would run for president in the future,
   he said, “I don’t know, I’ll drive off that bridge when I come to it.” Thanks dude.

    Yes,four words could have summed up your answer to “Why is there always war in the Middle East?”: Cuz God said so! Loved your segment…I still wish you could make it longer and I also wish you were on TV!

    You really answered those questions great! I don’t really believe that the video in space was a hoax. But I don’t really know.

Discuss!
