Dr. Drew’s Upsetting New Book
ADDICTION AND SUBTRACTION DEPT.
When Mindy McCready died over the weekend, she became the fifth patient from Celebrity Rehab to commit suicide. It also put the show’s host and creator, Dr. Drew, under scrutiny. Personally, we don’t trust any doctor who uses their first name as their last one (We’re looking at you, Dr. Phil!). And while we can’t say they should throw the book at Dr. Drew for his years of exploiting celebrity addiction, we thought we’d at least throw this book at him.
MAD Responds to the Meteor Threat
CLASSIC MAD DEPT.
The news outlets are rife with frantic reports about the meteor that exploded over Russia this past Friday and the asteroid that cruised by Earth later that day. But the danger of falling space debris has been on MAD's radar since 1998! As always, our attitude remains the same.

Marco Rubio’s “Watergate” Moment
WATER FOR GOP ELEPHANTS DEPT.
Last night, while delivering the GOP rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union Address, an obviously-parched Senator Marco Rubio reached for a bottle of water. Unfortunately, he wasn’t exactly as graceful as a ballerina. Actually, it was more akin to a 1,000-pound man lunging for the last shrimp at an all-you-can eat buffet. But was this brief human moment worth all the ridiculous hoopla that the media is giving it? Nah, it’s already water under the bridge.
The State of the Upton Address
UNDRESS THE NATION DEPT
Yesterday, Kate Upton was announced as the cover girl of Sport Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue! And tonight, President Obama delivers the State of the Union Address! Guess which of these things more Americans care about? C’mon Barry, it’s time to give the people what they want!
The Audacity of Pope
CLASSIC MAD DEPT.
It's been reported that Pope Benedict XVI will be resigning from his post due to "advanced age". We can't help but wonder if the Pontiff's been feeling pressure to step down ever since we named him as one of 2010's 20 dumbest people of the year.

MAD’s New Cover Artist: George W. Bush
PAINT MISBEHAVIN’ DEPT.
When Bush family e-mails were hacked last week, among the leaked information were photos of paintings made by none other than former President George W. Bush. We were shocked to learn that W. has an artistic side, but not so shocked by the paintings’ amateurish mediocrity — the very quality we look for in all MAD illustrators! So we were understandably pleased when he accepted our offer to become our newest cover artist. Now get back to work, George! We need the next cover by Thursday morning!
