Not any topic, actually--political topics are verboten (with good reason.
 Well, many good reasons, the presence of myself being one of them :).

Quoting an earlier comment from BenT where I learned that I had (rather
flagrantly!) violated this:

"Friday is free for all -- almost. Politics are still technically a no-no
unless you are running a grassroots effort to amend the Constitution so BenT
may run for President."

Technically, I think, all of this discussion of rules should be a Friday
topic.  If not, I move that it be made so, and this posting itself be
declared out of order :).
