Is there a reason you keep putting up multiple posts of this vanity into breaking news? Are you going out of your way to show us what NOT to do?

Did you post that link as an example of what not to do? Actually I think it is a good idea to have one thread a day dedicated to "off-topic" stuff. That way, all the bizarre stories and such can be contained in a single daily thread, easily avoided by those who want nothing to do with it.
Anyway, that is just my opinion.

Could you please link previous threads to this one? Thanks. And thank you for bringing it back to the top. The more it is seen, the better it will be.

I have a question. How about the threads of 'Caption This Pic' that fuel 300 posts of nasty comments of how Chelsea Clinton looks? Would that be a trash post or is that furthering Conservatism?

You call this "Breaking News?"

Duplicat posts are a waste of server storage space. It does not take much time to key-word search based on a word or two from the headline (provided someone hasn't screwed with the headline...) and see if an item was previously posted or not. TV is for re-runs; we ought to be smart enough to search before we post.
To: SpeaksTruthToPower
You are supposed to do a search of the headline of the article you are going to post to see if anybody else posted it already. That's why JimRob wants us to not alter the title, so that we can find an article if it has already been posted.
However, I have sometimes gotten tripped up because the same article may appear on a different website under a different title. For example, an article from the AP wire may have a certain headline but the same article may appear on the Washington Times website under a different headline.
It is time for us all to start pulling together so that we can elect more Republicans in November.

It is also a duplicate Post

Many people are not/can not access FR during the weekend, that is why we are keeping this in breaking news for a while.
The link to the previous thread is in reply #1, and here.
To: SamAdams76
I thoroughly agree that trash from Democratic Underground shouldn't be posted, and I've occasionally said so; not because it's left-wing but because it's just plain stupid and pointless. We need to know what people like Daschle are saying, but we don't need to know what some unknown idiot at DU is saying.
I do like an occasional good humorous post. Some of the funniest things on the net are posted here, and I like to e-mail them to friends. It would be too bad if they all got buried in a grab-bag thread.

Agreed. If I'm about to post an article amd I see it's already here and stagnant, I BTTT it so others may get a chance to see it.

"If you want to trash someone, make it a Democrat."Is Chelsea a democrat? Has she expressed her political views? Is she a legal adult? If you answered yes to these question, then I think she is fair game.
