In the Governors race for New York State there is one candidate -- a Mr. Jimmy McMillan -- who has an interesting platform.
The Rent Is Too Damn High.
Heard him on the radio today and he is funny and well spoken but there seems to be a slight problem. From the New York Times:
Opposing Excessive Rent, but Vague About His Own Jimmy McMillan, running for governor as the candidate of the one-man Rent Is Too Damn High Party, stole the show at the debate on Monday night with his repeated and crystal-clear message: The. Rent. Is. Too. Damn. High.
But how high, exactly, is too damn high for Mr. McMillan? That is a little harder to say.
Mr. McMillan said in an interview on Tuesday that for at least the last decade, he had lived rent free.
