Yea there is something worth while there: political humor!
As you may have guessed I fall to the left of just about everyone currently in office (and almost everyone on a Connie) on most issues, but I love stuff like the pic you posted Conrad. And the only way (it seems) to have anything political on the site is to post it in the arena. TBH I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if one of the Mods were to come along shortly to move this thread there. and (to me) that's a shame because I don't think political discussions/humor has to be as heated as it gets, but without a bunch of cooler headed moderates to help moderate the discussions it does always seem to turn into a shouting/name calling match. And I certainty understand why you might not want to be involved in those.
Seriously though, I really think the reason the Arena gets so extreme is because we never get any moderates in there. So hyper-partisans=hyper-partisanship. (and just generally an excess of hyper-ness.) Just IMO.
