It's hard to know which is scarier: that America's Economy has gone to the dogs, or that America's Sweetheart is a Chihuahua. As usual, Uncle Jay keeps you from barking up the wrong tree. < less

Our economy is saved! Think of the economy as a Damsel in Distress, and the government as a Handsome Prince on a Mighty Horse. Now, for a clue about how the government will handle this crisis, look directly underneath the horse. Uncle Jay explains it all, and of course includes O.J. Simpson. < less

The old saying goes: you can put lipstick on a pig, but you can't make him drink. Or something like that. Why has this election gone insane? Maybe it's the hurricanes, maybe it's the internet. Maybe it's Maybelline. Uncle Jay explains the latest. < less

Liberal. Conservative. Do they mean anything anymore? In this holiday rerun (but with 10 all-new seconds!), Uncle Jay explains the difference. Many politicians deny that they're liberal when they really are, or brag that they're conservative when they're really not. But at least they can find some common ground and agree that they're all lying. < less

It's time for the Conventions! These events are like the Olympics, but not quite: The Olympics had big bright fireworks, embarrassing government control, and widespread doping.

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.

The news can be sooo cute! An adorable political scandal from John Edwards. Teensy-weensy anthrax spores. And a cute & cuddly military invasion from Russia.

Obama may be a politician, but is he experienced and ready enough to be a celebrity? The news was full of tough questions like this all week. Plus, China has cleared away all the smog, dirt and dissidents for the Olympics. Uncle Jay explains it all, and more! < less

The week's news covered a lot of ground. There was Barack Obama's "Love Me, I'm Not Bush" Tour, competing with John McCain's "No, Love ME, I'm Just the Parts of Bush You Like" Tour. And there was John Edwards singing "Not Pappa Mia" in a basement bathroom of the Beverly Hilton. Thank goodness we have Uncle Jay to explain it all! < less

So, what are these Jokers in the news up to now? They're uniting to fight against the newest major threat: a cartoon! If the most important issue in the news is an issue of The New Yorker, does that mean the banks are okay again? That the war is over and we can afford to drive to the grocery store, and also afford the groceries? Uncle Jay explains it all! < less

The Tour de France! Bastille Day! These are welcome diversions from America's triple disasters: the economy, the election and the iPhone launch. Uncle Jay explains this week's news with just a touch of ze French flavor. No Jerry Lewis jokes. < less

Hope you had a happy Independents Day! Wait a minute, isn’t that spelled wrong? Nope, because during this special time of patriotic arson, Uncle Jay explains the most important Americans ever: the Independent Voters! Really, they’re important, just ask them. You’ll see that they even have a cute mascot, just like Democrats and Republicans do. < less

Guns! Sometimes this issue is so frustrating, you just wanna SHOOT somebody! But no, Uncle Jay calmly explains the blast from the big guns at the Supreme Court, and the return fire they're getting. Plus, Bill Gates shuts down his career by clicking "Start." Figures. < less

Now the REAL fun starts! Uncle Jay confidently predicts that all the pundits will confidently predict the Vice-Presidential nominees. Y’know, the same pundits who said that this year’s race would be between Clinton and Romney. That Big Brown was a sure bet. That the Indiana Jones movie would be great. Can’t wait for their Hulk review. < less

Liberal. Conservative. These have to be the two most annoying words in the news. Some people deny that they're liberal when they are, but some people brag that they're conservative when they're not! Why? What do these words mean? But more importantly, why are words in the news so hard to spell? Uncle Jay explains the left and right of it < less
