MAD Magazine is still around... and they're still on target !!!
Here's their year-end issue... it's pretty obvious they share our disgust!!



I saw it on a newstand and leafed through it-- there's another page that
shows cartoon people (from New Orleans) all yelling, "WHERE'S W???"

5. No ads meant Gaines could print what he wanted.
Eight issues a year, every 40 days or so. Ensured a quality product.

Can you all imagine if Gaines was still around? Head-on collisions with the AFA, Focus on the Family, and every wannabe right-wing swiftboating operation on the continent. I guarantee Gaines would win.

8. No doubt MAD formed the mindset of many a DUer.
Everything smells like bullshit to me thanks to them.

9. Amen, tuvor!!

MAD has been around since I was young-- and that's been quite awhile now!!

Didn't Hilary Clinton say something awhile back comparing junior to Alfred
E. Newman? The repukes REALLY blew their stacks at that one!!

:rofl:

10. Hey, ailsagirl, Happy New Year!
I didn't realize you were the OP! :blush:

Don't know if you've seen this graphic yet; I noticed it only recently. Right up your alley, I'm hunching.



Hope you had a good holiday!

12. It helps when it's mild, so I'm especially happy!
Plus, I spent my first 30 years in Edmonton.

Weatherwise, anything different from that is a dream!
