Welcome back, and spot on about the Monday Holiday lunacy…
now, could you please explain the “logic” behind moving the start and end of Daylight Savings Time?
….. and can Congress prove how much energy or how many lives have been saved as a result?
just kidding about the last part… cheers!

Welcome back! I have a GREAT idea– you should audition for Robert Gibbs job. That way, at least some of us could understand the WH position on, well, everything! There would be no more obfuscah, uh, obsfu, no thats not it, obsfucat….. I mean confusion!
Yeah, confusion….

Ohhhhh Uncle Jay,
It’s so good to have you back. I really missed you and the news has me all confused. I need your help with it.
and by the way…. were you …. well you look younger… were you off getting some plastic surgery?
No? I could’ve sworn…. oh well. We need you to solve the oil disaster before August. That’s the earliest BP thinks it can do it.
Love ya Uncle Jay!!!!

Hi Uncle Jay, I am a very conscientious government worker doing my part to spend down our grandchildrens’ American Dream….
I work for the census bureau, and guess what we are doing on this fine federal holiday….. WORKING !!!! Apparently although our paychecks are signed by Uncle Sam, we are not real government workers and thus do not qualify for the rights of every American…. you know…. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Vacation Time!
Hope you are having a great holiday….

Whoo Hooo Uncle Jay is back!!!! You were certainly missed. Hope you got everything out of your system by now. The world and the news is a mess without you to explain it to us.

Glad you are back and hope all is well with whatever your Katrina was! You were missed!
May 31st, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Welcome back, Uncle Jay. We were good (only appropriate behavior) but we missed you so much.
May 31st, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Welcome Back!! From the photo in your message last week, it appears that you lost someone very close to you. Knowing that you are very close to all 4,634 of your “regular” fans, please be aware that every one of us shares in your despair and wishes you a sense of peace and closure. Thank you for your perseverance and your humor. You were missed!
June 1st, 2010 at 1:30 pm

Glad to see you back Uncle Jay!

I missed you Uncle Jay! Welcome back.
June 1st, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Welcome back Uncle Jay! You’ve been missed. Although, my kids start school the last Thursday in August. Yes, Thursday. Giving the teachers two whole days to wish they were somewhere else teaching.
June 1st, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Sorry you went through whatever it was you went through. We’re all praying and pulling for you (depending on our various religious beliefs or lack thereof!)
Glad you’re back!

Thank you for your kindness at giving us, your dependants, an episode yesterday when you probably felt like doing almost anything else. We love you, Uncle Jay.

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the reminder about Decca and the Beatles disaster. I had the privilege of working for Sir Edward Lewis, the chairman in l970. Believe, me, this wasn’t a subject you raised unless you wanted a hot cup of tea to fly past your head!
He was a lovely man, if not very forward thinking.
Very happy you’re back with us.
Lynne.

Jay:
May God bless you and keep you through your painful time. Life is a continuum; birth, life and death. For those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they have eternal life as I’m sure you have.
In Christ,
Danny

Great to have you back. This looked familiar. Was it a rerun?
June 5th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
I’m 21 And I love this stuff. I wish it would be around 15 years from now when I may have kids…

Hi Uncle Jay. Very clever lead in to the rerun of the Feb 15 Presidents Day episode. You even wore the same shirt, although you buttoned the top button in honor of Memorial Day. The law that created Presidents Day actual designates the third Monday in Feb as “Washington’s Birthday.” It must have been some disgruntled Lincoln supporters who started referring to it as “Presidents Day.” As for me, I’m completely gruntled.
