Documented History of the Bubble
Post 75263 by Rafaelloello deleted for the following reason: this was already pretty sketch the last time it was posted and it's not any better just because it's being hosted someplace else -- maybe this can go over to politicalfilter but we've already got a housing crisis post or two here. -- jessamyn

Post 75258 by Effigy2000 deleted for the following reason: Maybe we can link to the Onion next, and cap it off with a link to the front page of CNN. After letting the audience scream and applaud for five minutes, we'll give 'em what they want with a McSweeney's/Zombo.com medley encore. -- cortex

Post 75232 by dash_slot- deleted for the following reason: I'm not sure what this adds to the downfall posts we've already seen and I sort of agree with this "These sorts of gags are a subtle way to humanize Hitler and the Nazis while ignoring the utterly inhuman acts of cruelty and murder they perpetrated." -- jessamyn
Art For Obama
Post 75226 by grapefruitmoon deleted for the following reason: I know this must have taken a lot of work to put together, but political fundraisery stuff is not a great fit for the front page, and it sounds like you may have ended up with a more-is-less effect with the exhaustive list of artists besides. -- cortex

Sarah Palin unexpectedly influences a domestic trend.
Post 75159 by somnambulist deleted for the following reason: This is kind of lightweight weirdness, we've got no shortage of Palin talk on the site already, and the thread is already veering straight into generic Palin chatter. This may not be a good time to try and do this. -- cortex

Rep Rangel addresses his recent troubles.
Post 75048 by pearlybob deleted for the following reason: The Palin angle of this would be more than welcome in one of the several open threads in which discussion of Palin is occurring; as a post this feels more like weak-sauce Media Narrative than anything, and if there's a worthwhile post to be made about Rangel qua Rangel, it could be done a lot better. -- cortex

And why in god's name are you leading off a post with a wikipedia link, a google search, and a link to a mefi thread (in which, again, you should probably just add this stuff)? -- cortex
