The rules are not new.  Y'all have just gotten away with breaking them with impunity for a long time. 

I'd recommend to the mods that political cartoons are political speech and as such should also be disallowed. Just because it doesn't really lead to political discussion doesn't make it any less political.

These days even nature pictures have become political. So I say:

IIRC Jim's rule on this had a simple practical basis: Based on what he'd seen on other jazz boards and on this one too at one time, he felt that discussion of political subjects often led to inflamed feelings and so-called flame wars. This he didn't want to play host to -- and because it's his board, that was that. Also, as I said above, there are lots of other places  on the 'Net where political discussions can and do take place with no, or virtually no, limits. Just not on Organissimo.

BTW, if you're a Facebook friend of Jim's, you'll know that he's a man of strong opinions on a number of political and social issues and is not averse to mockery when it suits his mood. But FB is where he expresses those views, not here.
