SPARE THE ROD: Now this makes me 'Mad'

Yeah, yeah, the economy, recession, blah blah blahh.

But now I'm worrying.

According to a story on the newsarama.com Web site, Mad Magazine is scaling back its publication from monthly to quarterly.

Mad Magazine was a key contributor of culture and refinement in my young life. In a very real sense, it made me what I am today. This is just terrible news.

Furshlugginer economy!
