They Support Sarah
Post 86965 by double block and bleed deleted for the following reason: What was supposed to be the good thing about posting this? What we got was a bunch of LOLPALINITES, a bunch of retread arguments, some driveby nastiness, and a pile of flags. -- cortex

Can't we all just get along?
Post 86955 by VikingSword deleted for the following reason: This is a bit bloggy/editorial for a front page post. -- cortex
Helpful Hackers.
Post 86947 by karmiolz deleted for the following reason: There's an open Climate-emails thread sans the editorializing, take this there. -- cortex

The Christianist Manifesto: A Partial Fisking
Post 86878 by lexalexander deleted for the following reason: That being on someone's blog seems just about right as far as the natural order of the univers goes. It being a front page post on Metafilter, not so much. -- cortex

Truckers Delight by the Flairs (SLYT)
Post 86791 by zerobyproxy deleted for the following reason: I don't understand if you are making a joke or what exactly but this is not a good video for metafilter even though it may have been okay for waxy. -- jessamyn

Post 86763 by desjardins deleted for the following reason: the most important thing about good comedy is timing. And unfortunately, the timing isn't really right for this. -- jessamyn

Post 86691 by gallois deleted for the following reason: There's a recent Gladwell thread that this can go in if it's not already there. -- cortex
Let's Get Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh!
Post 86683 by fourcheesemac deleted for the following reason: Not really going over well. Probably better to stick with primary sources instead of thinly/poorly attributed second hand stuff in this sort of case, at any rate. -- cortex
RIPCATS
Post 86635 by orthogonality deleted for the following reason: News of the weird + could be recursively mistaken as the worst obit ever = this is not a great idea. -- cortex

"Christian" doesn't mean what you think it means
Post 86605 by Benny Andajetz deleted for the following reason: How posts are framed are just as important as the content. On topics like this, a neutral tone is better at keeping threads from going crazy right out of the gate. -- vacapinta

Bad researcher. No biscuit.
Post 86478 by CheeseDigestsAll deleted for the following reason: This is already being discussed in the previous thread. Anybody who eats their dog because they didn't see an update on the front page of metafilter is not a very good pet-owner. -- cortex

And where do acorns go if you eat them...?
Post 86448 by diogenes deleted for the following reason: The Daily Show is great, but pretty much everybody knows about it at this point. If you want to talk about Glenn Beck come hell or highwater, there's a sort of quasi-discussion in Metatalk right now. -- cortex

Hitch Hates Humorists
Post 86437 by Effigy2000 deleted for the following reason: I know there's probably a schadenfreude angle here that's sort of appealing, but a one-linker of Hitch doing something other than writing something really, really superb is probably not worth the friction that yet another Hitch post produces. -- cortex
Waiting in line is for the poor, apparently....

Post 86399 by philip-random deleted for the following reason: SLOP. Single link Onion Post would be weak enough without also rehashing the overly hashed Glenn Beck memes. -- vacapinta
