 10. Blog hawking (I know, I know, we're supposed to be nice.)

 9. Run-on, single-paragraph posts

 8. Pings to Jim Robinson with kiss ass complements

 7. Posting "hugh and series", "stuned beeber" or "Bush's fault"

 6. A post asking a noOb if they are sure they're logged in

 5. Passive-aggressive keyword epithet war

 4. Satire posts that fool you (the rest are hilarious)

 3. Viking Kitties (just kidding... love ya'... really...  who'd poke fun at you...  rah roh.)

 2. Vanities

 1. ...

Letterman top 10 posts.

[Boucheau]

A supposed pro-capitalist group that complains about “blog pimps” all the time. It’s 2010, and blogs are here to stay.

No, I don’t have a blog...anymore.

[Zetman]

When someone posts “And so it begins...”.

Vanities (People that have that much time on their hands just make me jealous)

TT

[Atticus]

Reminds of the days when the news of any death, no matter where and no matter what the cause, was greeted on FR with the phrase “Arkancide?”

12. Attacks on Mormons (Im not one)
13. Attacks on Catholics (I am one and I do attack CINOS)
14. Updates on Birth Certificate issues that are nothing more than You Tube Videos (I do want to see the long form one)
15. Links to “Incredible developments” in birth certificate cases that are nothing more than routine filings or someone put something on a calendar. ( I never can read those legal forms that get linked quid pro curiouso laviticus)
16. Flame wars against anyone who dares question something Palin or Rush has done. (I support both but everyone makes mistakes)
17. The “I got this in my email” stuff that is easy shot down by using Snopes.
18. The “Snopes is a liberal site” reply you get after you shoot something down.
19. People that have been around here since 98 that think they know better than others.

Guilty / not guilty / I’d hit it posts.

Although on the rare occasion when the shoe is on the other foot (Scott Brown centerfold or in uniform) ...

“Already posted”

*Ding ding ding*....we have a winner!

#8 (there’s only ONE God) and the predictable comments posted after news articles are posted. Far too often no mention is made of the content of the article, only a bunch of predictable bloviating on the headline that someone took the time to read.

You know, I think she must have actually posed for that "Witch Head nebulla" thingy NASA showed:

[Quix]

INDEED . . .

I think my addition might be . . .

Whiners diligently searching out things to be offended by with annoying regularity.

However, since my scroll button works, they are not a significant problem.

[JasonC]

Seconded. Also, a supposedly pro capitalist group that spews endless hatred for rich bankers...

[ari-freedom]

Threads that change the original title of the article.

Posts that take a million years to scroll that have really nothing to do with the original thread and are posted on every other thread.

[CaribouCrossing]

Yep

Rove, you magnificent bastard!

“*Ding ding ding*....we have a winner!”

That comment alone should be in the top 10.
