Barack Obama and Chris Christie's Newfound Friendship
THE ACT-OF-GOD COUPLE DEPT.
Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie recently said this about President Obama: “He’s like a man wandering around a dark room…clutching for the light switch of leadership, and he just can’t find it.” Yesterday, after Obama rushed to New Jersey's aid in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Christie said: “It’s been very good working with the president…It’s been wonderful.” Faster than it took to flood lower Manhattan, the Gov and Prez were suddenly BFFs and seen hugging each other repeatedly on national television. Who knows where this relationship is going?

MAD #517 Cover Revealed on The Huffington Post
VIEW TO A SHILL DEPT.
We've been teasing our new cover over the last two weeks, asking our readers to figure out what the final image will look like. Today the full cover was revealed by our friends at The Huffington Post! Congrats to Idiotical reader Mark Anthony Vincent, who came closest when he wrote "Obama on one side, Romney on the other side of Alfreds shoulders". (Mark, if you had only added that Barry and Mitt were both devils, you'd have won the summer 2012 gold medal in MAD cover-guessing.)
Click here to head over to HuffPo to see the cover, titled "Welcome to Election Hell". It's painted by Mark Fredrickson.

Upcoming "Newsweek" Presidential Covers
FAIL TO THE CHIEF DEPT.
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.
