ACKing Networking

Post 75285 by sp160n deleted for the following reason: Ack. The main link does indeed look like a bit of (however unintentional) piracy, and without it there's not really so much of a post here. Maybe someone can try this again at some point with a focus on some in-the-clear resources? -- cortex

The greatest Internet drama story ever told

Post 75264 by champthom deleted for the following reason: this is borderline making fun of the disabled and sort of icky. -- jessamyn

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

Height (by xkcd)

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 75241 by hal_c_on deleted for the following reason: this is not a good post for metafilter. Please MAKE AN EFFORT to make a post that might possibly appeal to someone not immersed in the day-to-day back and forth about USian politicking. -- jessamyn

Tell the short shite to pick Palin!

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

Sometimes Twitter is actually useful.

Post 75219 by cthuljew deleted for the following reason: this is funny but linking to twitter search results is not so great as a post since it's likely to change and not that evocative of what's great about this particular thing. -- jessamyn

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
