Obama and Christie: Jersey Shore BFFs
THE BOOTH OF A NATION DEPT.
Yesterday, President Obama met with Governor Chris Christie to tour parts of the Jersey Shore that were ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. It was a rare display of both bipartisanship and unbridled bromance. We’re happy to report that not only was a splendid time had by all — it was also captured on film!
Covers We’re Contemplating: Amanda Bynes vs. Liberace
YUCK & COVER DEPT.
Some people think that the MAD editorial staff just throws whatever idiotic thing it can come up with on its covers, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Barack Obama: The Drone Ranger
BAD TO THE DRONE DEPT.
President Obama is scaling back the use of drones to kill terrorists and foreign enemies. Which is really a shame.

Microsoft announced yesterday that they’d be releasing the first new Xbox console in eight years! The so-called “all in one” system, the Xbox One, will let gamers record live TV, play Blu-ray HD discs and even make calls on Skype.
