Passover and Easter have brought forth a miracle: Uncle Jay explaining the news without once mentioning Sandra Bullock, 24, the iPad, or trained dragons playing hoops! So what’s left to expain? The good stuff, of course. Haha, april Fool!

That last comment scared me Uncle Jay. I would miss you!

Ya got me Uncle Jay! When you said, “..the last time…” my mouth dropped open, I thought “WHY!”, I started to panic, then “April Fool’s”… you have me talking like JaJa Binks. You’ll always be MY teacher, Uncle Jay, so may the force be with you…
March 29th, 2010 at 8:13 am
Uncle Jay,
You are sooo spot-on.
You make me laugh
Thanks for doing what you do!
March 29th, 2010 at 8:39 am
I think he was trying to give us all heart attacks with the last comment. What on earth would we do without Uncle Jay to explain the news to us.

Beth in Danville, KY,
Here’s a brief (and humorous) explanation of the Israel/Palestinian dispute:
Jewish and Palestinian leaders sit down for negotiation.
Jewish leader: Before we start this meeting I would like to tell a story: Moses surveying the promised land from across the river Jordan decided to take a swim. When he was finished he went to get his clothes only to notice a Palestinian stealing them.
(interruption) Palestinian leader: Impossible! Palestinians weren’t around then!
Jewish Leader: Now that we have that out of the way, lets proceed with the negotiations.
Take care Uncle Jay.

Don’t ever scare me like that again. You are the only reason I get up Monday mornings.

Got me with your April Fools! Whewwwwwwwwwww, big sigh of relief! Love your news!
March 29th, 2010 at 11:21 am
Good one Uncle Jay.
Glad you’re stickin’ around.
Good show, Thanks for everything.

Great episode! This one had me laughing. You’re just so dang witty, Uncle Jay.
March 29th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Len, you need to recognize sarcasm!
Peace

My jaw dropped open and my heart stopped when you fooled me into thinking that next week was your last segment. How will I get through the week without my “Uncle Jay” fix? Luckily you were just kidding. Jeremy I loved your story about the Jewish and Palestinian leaders sitting down for negotiation. As John Lennon said, give peace a chance. Hey Sarah Palin looked really butch in that motorcycle jacket next to John McCain didn’t she?
March 29th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
April fool?!??? Don’t DO that! Gotta realign my pacemaker now!
March 29th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! My heart stopped for a second. then, I just nodded, smiled and thought, “that’s uncle Jay!” Uncle Jay, your weekly segment is just too short to begin with….to even think you’d stop altogether with the news…well, i can’t go there.

Thank you for the Passover greeting and for being tactful as ever regarding the Israel / Palestinian situation. I know it is hard to find an accurate map of Israel, but the one you showed does take a position and denies events and the end results of wars that took place over 40 years ago. Do maps of Iraq carve out an area for the Kurds just because they desire to have their own country? Is Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona in a different color in US maps because the US took it in war from Mexico?
March 30th, 2010 at 11:32 am
Okay, I guess I’m an April Fool – you had me for that split second!
March 30th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I was fooled. Had you held out on the April fool’s joke longer, I would have bought all your DVDs today. Now I’ll procrastinate some more, or at least until pay day. I don’t know what would be worse, losing my current health care to universal health care, or losing Uncle Jay.
March 30th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Wow, good one Uncle Jay. When you said “for the very last time…” I literally stood up from my chair and yelled “WHAT?!” Glad you’re not going anywhere!
April 1st, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Heart failure! We would miss you so much and then where would our reality come from?
April 1st, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Wow Uncle Jay, I’m excited, we’re celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah! Hey Uncle Jay, not to worry, when Jesus returns to earth, He’ll resolve the Middle East political problems and I think some folks may be unhappy; you know, the non-believers.
April 3rd, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Ha! April fools indeed. Well done Uncle Jay, you totally got me. I’m surprised you didn’t have a go at explaining the Middle East conflict. I guess it’s not a good idea to talk about that sort of stuff at Easter.
How about trying to explain NAMA – it’s some banking thing here in Ireland that says it’s legal for rich stupid people to take money from us working stiffs, even though the rich people lost all the money.
April 5th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
Shtanto, we in the US call that TARP (or whatever the current bailout scheme is being labeled these days).
April 12th, 2010 at 8:49 am
I always appreciate how “fair and balanced” you are!
