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.”)
Building on Toni Morrison declaring that Bill Clinton was "The First Black President," Newsweek this week declared Barack Obama "The First Gay President" on its cover. Given all the press that her magazine received for the cover, it's only a matter of time before Newsweek editor and media opportunist Tina Brown will try to duplicate this success with other ridiculous presidential covers.
"The Machine That Travels Through Time" is by Joey Alison Sayers!

A new book by Mimi Alford, a onetime intern of President Kennedy, alleges that JFK carried on a yearlong affair with her—and even offered the then-19-year-old to other White House staffers for sexual favors. While shocking, this kind of behavior is hardly unique. In fact, historians have recently discovered a slew of other presidential indiscretions. 
Old General Washington crossed, um, ya know, he crossed that lake and, I’ll tell ya, with his armed militia of good strong armed militia men and he went over there and he just told them that we were going to… to just keep fightin’ and ringing bells until we got the freedoms that most Americans want and deserve.
These Founding Fathers, they were wise men and filled with wisdom, ya know. And, um, they got together down there in the big hall to ring bells and tell old King George that “Hey, listen, we’re tired of government interference and that sort of thing.” These great Americans knew that the American people wanted freedom and liberty to bear arms and worship the Creator of this magnificent land that God gave us. So they got out their quills and started declarin’.
Besty Ross was, um, ya know, the first Mama Grizzley. She was just out there sewin’ and shootin’ and ringing bells and all that revolutionary stuff she had no time for the Gotcha Questions from the lame street media like Thomas Paine. And she made the flag with the stars because she knew America WAS a star. And we still use that flag today!
