1. Swelligant!

K&R and Yoink! for new wallpaper!

[blondeatlast]

2. Leave it to MAD. An entire adminstration summed up in in a half-sheet spread.

Cheney ought to frame that one, though--he looks pretty good, actually.

[IChing]

3. Condi looks bewitching with the pirate's flag flying over the white house

they did a great job.

[Brigid]

35. You know what they say:

A picture is worth a thousand words. Some cliches stick around for a reason.

[Mythsaje]

4. That's brilliant! n/t

[Okiojira]

5. God, that's awesome!

It's now become my new desktop picture!!

[DKRC]

6. My daughter's reaction - NOooooo! Why didn't they do THAT to Orlando Bloom?! Not Johnny Depp!!!!!!!!

:spray:

[TalkingDog]

18. Unfortunately in this case, Depp was cast as the bumbling f*ck-up

Who somehow always mananges to pull his ass out of the fire without getting singed.

The difference here is, of course, that he has no Daddy or wealthy friends to ensure his safety and position.

28. I'm with your daughter. They have ruined something wonderful. Kind of like *. n/t

[Big Pappa]

7. That is funny as hell.

11. Ah, looks like MAD's getting some of it's bite back

:thumbsup:

[Zookeeper]

37. You'd be surprised...

My kids have a subscription. MAD has been critical of BushCo for years now.

I'd say it's more political than it was when I was a kid.

[NJCher]

12. my former neighbor works for Mad

I wonder if he played a role in this.

13. Lol! I noticed that in the beginning of the third film

a British soldier reads off "changes" in the law while men. women, and children are being hanged "Effective immediately; we have suspended habeas corpus, the people no longer have the right to assembly, the right to representation by a lawyer, the right to a trail by a jury of one's peers...." etc. etc. It read like a list straight from the B*sh misAdministration!

[SaveAmerica]

23. Along with the kid's singing that brought the group of pirates

together, that made me thing of current events. Then I thought of us (DU, dems) in the scene when they're facing the entire British fleet and they're feeling defeated at first but Elizabeth asks if they want to get blown away without a fight, or fight to the end. Too bad we don't have a big *** Calypso to zap these evil freaks out of the water.

[Roland99]

56. I was thinking the same thing!!!

[live love laugh]

14. That's purrrrdy. nt

24. lol - it's now on my desktop at work... heheheheheh

[paparush]

25. Interesting point from the movie itself-

opening scene.
beggars, bums, and pirates in chains, headed to the gallows.
Soldier reads off a list of rights that have been suspended:
"Habeus Corpus!!" he bellows!

[Demeter]

26. Life Imitating Art

It would be funnier if it weren't so true. But I did grin.

[knitter4democracy]

27. Bush wishes he were as cool as Captain Jack Sparrow.

He's more like one of the bumbling crew.

[MetaTrope]

29. Even Mad can be prescient

They foresaw Bush's invasion of Iraq back in 1953:

[iamjoy]

30. Very Good! (eom)

[Swamp Rat]

50. Here it is!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[MethuenProgressive]

53. That's from the movie, the new movie is "At The World's End"!!!

an even scarier topic where the Evil Threesome is concerned...

[juno jones]

54. Ahhh Mad...

I am, in part, who I am today because of the efforts of the "Usual Gang of Idiots". Glad to know Mad survives and continues to 'warp' young minds (Harvey Kurtzman's words, not mine)...

[wizstars]

55. Only thing missing is Gonzo....(maybe he's the octopus)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

57. Captain Jerk Zero?
