Uncle Jay Explains the News for the first half of 2009 in a July 4th special edition this week.

Topics range from Bernie Madoff (i.e., bars and stripes forever) to Latina judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama’s first  nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court (one of his first nominees to have paid all of her taxes!).

The list of other topics covered in the funny installment of the news includes:

• North Korea and its leader former leader Kim Jung-Il, the man Uncle Jay calls a “thorn in the USA,” the economy, Iran and Twitter;

• Miss California, Donald Trump, Jon and Kate Plus 8 and Michael Jackson; and

• Iraq, Afghanistan, the news media and steroids in baseball.

Enjoy!
