Hillary Clinton’s Troubling New Movie
COMIN’ AROUND THE BENGHAZI DEPT.
The attack on Libya’s American embassy on Sept. 11 was a tragedy. And as if that weren’t terrible enough, now it’s being said that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mismanaged the situation, and if it had been handled differently, it might have been avoided entirely.

UDDER STUPIDITY DEPT.
MAD is proud to present a brand new, ongoing comic strip — featuring the astonishing adventures of a young boy, his bovine companion, and their exciting exploits as they travel through the time stream, desperately trying to get back home, all while staying one step ahead of the evil and carnivorous Dr. Chops. (It’s pretty much the same plotline as “Cathy.”)
Chris Christie: Breaking Band
EAT, WEIGH, GUV DEPT.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie recently revealed that he had undergone lap-band surgery in order to help him get down to his “goal weight” of a svelte 535 pounds. We salute his newfound resolve to lead a healthier life — but, given his donut-inhaling history, we’re a little worried about a relapse. But if such a thing does happen, it will at least make for riveting drama.
