A brilliant writer passed away today, P.J. O'Rourke, the conservative satirist and political commentator. He's made me laugh and think for so many years. Just a bit more brilliance to mourn.

C'mon CT, credit for honoring the man, but it is political despite the balance....No?

No. I don't think so. His humor only works because of the subject matter (political parties). It isn't a political statement. Nonetheless, you've got authority to edit or delete it.

I understand what you're saying. As you know though, these types of posts can lead to others sharing their political opinions.
No harm done. I see no reason to edit or delete at this point. Just wanted to head it off at the pass, which apparently worked so far. ☺
