I don't know if we've tried this before - or whether anyone's interested - but how about a thread devoted to political cartoons (displaying and/or discussing them)?

I'll post a few, arbitrarily chosen, just to kick things off:

I agree I'm glad you posted but look at the picture of the supreme leader above with the blood on his hands.

It is a valid political cartoon and a damn good one too. I just want to make sure it's ok before we post because I don't want the Jihad coming here

I'm going to post increasingly one-sided cartoons until you guys get into the act and start posting cartoons too. You've been warned.

Posting these is a little questionable in terms of copyright, but y'all should at the very least provide links back to the original source for the ones you post.

Like 5% of political cartoons make an intelligent point and the other 95% are just biased propaganda masquerading as witty commentary.

It didn't occur to me there would be any copyright issue, but maybe I don't understand what is happening technically speaking.

To post an image, aren't we just copying a "link location"?

I might research the legality of this a little if I have time (unless someone else knows the answer outright). But my hunch is that we're fine doing this; I've certainly seen many other websites that do this.
