Mad About Politics

Today is the birthday of Harvey Kurtzman, founder of Mad Magazine, which has been, as Mad says, a staple of dens, libraries, living rooms and recycling bins for sixty years.

As the US Presidential election approaches, Mad has brought out a special issue, on which its regular gap-toothed cover boy, Alfred E. Neuman, has taken on a distinctly Obama-like appearance.

Can't find Mad on the stands?  Google it.  It's all there.

Meanwhile, as President Obama and Governor Romney warm up for their first television debate, both echo the immortal words of Alfred E. Neuman:  "What, me worry?"
