“First Historic Public Burning of Social Security Cards”

Thanks to JNOV’s scouting, we’ve become rabid fans of rexcurry.net, which reads like a Talking Heads album cover come to life, it’s so full of adorable crazy-ass folk politics:

Rex the iconoclast is the first person to publicly burn his social security card in protest to end socialist slave numbers and the first and only person to organize the public burning of SS cards against Nazi numbers and the only place on the web with the historic photographs.

Rex comes to our attention because, well, we came to his. Last November we observed the passing of the man who added “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance, and Rex saw fit to include our post on his site.

Or a haunted Notell Hotel? Or a detailed scale model of — yes, we’re going there — Epcock Center?

Fine, fine. But don’t be surprised when Six Flags adopts our brilliant ideas to save itself from bankruptcy.

Update: The park’s been demolished.

Fresh from their close encounter with toaster demons, WorldNetDaily is back above the flag with a shocking! revelation that will cause you to question the very nature of life itself.

And once again, we must advise you to sit down and move all sharp objects beyond your reach. We cannot accept responsibility for your behavior once you learn the shocking truth:

John Lennon made a deal with — the Devil.

We know! Totally unexpected. But it must be true, because somebody wrote a book about it — somebody who after careful study reached the conclusion that there’s no other possible explanation for the success of the Beatles:

“I think it’s important to get our elected officials on the record.” How refreshing to watch someone commit journalism, on Fox or elsewhere. Guess that’s all we get for the year.

There are reasons why some people would prefer that certain photos not enter the public record. Seeing them would only compel action.

We were just kicking the tires, we swear. This is not the same as Wonkette discovering bling. But the dude sounds like he’s about to tell us about the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and we can’t let it rest.
