Elite Press Attacks Newt Gingrich
Fresh on the heels of last night’s CNN debate, where moderator John King asked Newt Gingrich about allegations that he wanted an open marriage, and Gingrich responded with a blistering charge that the liberal media was attacking him while protecting Obama, this explosive newspaper appeared on newsstands this morning. We always thought the former House Speaker was an egotistical, paranoid blowhard. And after reading this, we’re more convinced than ever.

'Mister Romney’s Neighborhood' Now Available
Today, Mitt Romney's campaign released a new Blu-ray set aimed at the children of potential voters. It’s considered a brilliant political move. Even if Romney doesn’t win this time around, the set will position him well for the 2024 election, when all these kids are of voting age.

A Classic Tolstoy Novel Updated
Recently video was (ahem) leaked of four Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters. (And they said waterboarding was bad!) Having never been on the battlefield, we’ll reserve final comment. But on the surface it certainly looks as if the Marines were “going” down the wrong path with this. In a related development, there are unconfirmed rumors that two of the Marines have just signed deals to act as spokesmen for Flomax.

Celebrity Snaps: Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks, the revered star of classic films such as Saving Private Ryan and Bachelor Party, was found lurking in an extremely empty and incredibly dull high school gymnasium.

Miss Wisconsin Crowned Miss America
Miss Wisconsin, Laura Kaeppeler, was crowned the new Miss America during the annual pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas Saturday night. Given how the Packers did against the Giants this weekend, it’s nice to know someone from Wisconsin still knows how to win.

Let's Try This Again: Can You Guess What Will Be on the Cover of MAD #514?
Back on January 5th, we posed this challenge: "Can you guess what will be on the cover of MAD #514?" We showed a shockingly important piece of the art and provided this painfully obvious hint: "There is at least ONE eyebrow on this cover." Even with all of that plopped in your laps, not one Idiotical reader gave us the correct answer. This is the best we can say about your guesses: not all of you got it wrong, but no one got it right.
Needless to say, we were terribly disappointed.
But we are nothing if not forgiving! We'll now grant you another chance to answer the question: "What will be on the cover of MAD #514?" Take a look at the cropped image below (we TOLD you were there was an eyebrow), and leave your answer in the comments!
