Augie, I don't think that post (by joermoney) qualifies as politics, it was news, news that could (or may not) affect the market. It sure started to affect crude prices. The intention of "No politics" is to avoid political polemics, and the kind of discussions getting into "I am holier than thou" etc.
If I see excess politics, I'll try and comment on it, and will hope that the parties engaging in such polemic take the discussion to the "Politics" thread.
