The Far Right's First 100 Days

Post 81277 by stbalbach deleted for the following reason: single link blog op-ed. While not a bad article, pull quotes that editorialize aren't entirey different from basically editorializing. There is a politicalfilter site which is just for politics. -- jessamyn

The 'yum' blog

Post 81123 by sidr deleted for the following reason: this is a little weird and unclear what the awesomeness factor is - maybe try again with a little more explanation or something? -- jessamyn

Ohhhh! Well that explains everything!

Post 81122 by Geekyblonde deleted for the following reason: This seems like kind of a weird post, and posting to complain about a school from an IP at that school really puts this into too-bloggy "let me tell you about my day" territory. -- cortex

NBA: Going Mental

Post 81097 by jwakawaka deleted for the following reason: So apparently you're an "Internet Marketing Analyst" at this fandome site you keep linking. That's fucking awesome. Get bent. -- cortex

Post 81002 by chuckdarwin deleted for the following reason: You kind of need to choose between participating in or posting about an ephemeral internet phenomenon; doing both is uncomfortable quasi-self-link territory, and the lack of disclosure kind of sucks too. -- cortex

Post 80750 by manosthf deleted for the following reason: Like any good Kibologist, I have a nearly paternal love for that Beggin' Strips commerical, but I think we've reached the point where merely being about bacon is not good enough of a reason for a post. -- cortex

The First Annual MetaFilter Interactive Fiction Contest

Post 80513 by Electrius deleted for the following reason: I am thrilled about the IF contest (and ashamed that I never got a contribution in), but this doesn't make a whole lot of sense as something for the general public, and it's been covered in Metatalk a couple times, and now I have to break Deathalicious' heart by boarding up the front door. There is a small mailbox here. -- cortex
