I just found a political home

[maxiep]

For years, I wandered through the wilderness without a political party. Too conservative to be a Democrat, too Libertarian to be a Republican, too interventionist to be a Libertarian. My search is over. Why you ask? Because THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!

There are over (25) Twenty Five Thousand Newly Rented Apartments, Available, Now Renting in the Williamsberg Section of Brooklyn, NY. as is all throughout the (5) Five Boro's. But... they are only being Rented to the Jewish People.

Oh come on, he apologized for those statements.. can't you forgive and forget?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

perhaps.

Hell, I'm part Jewish and I still love the guy! In fact, I've started to grow a Chester A. Arthur in Jimmy Mac's honor!

If you ever lived in NYC - you know he is damn right!

I believe I paid $1200/mo for a 1 bedroom apt. with a kitchen that could hold one person and 1 pan in Brooklyn Heights (not even in Manhattan) in 1994. Damn, that was ex-wait for it-pensive.

So, this guy made an arrangement with his landlord in which he received his rent in exchange for maintenance work, and he did this without help from social services or a government agency?

Hell, I'd vote for him.

I just like the fact he wears black gloves inside and manages to slip in the non-sequitor that he knows karate.

 

[andalusian]

Dude is serious. He even took down the buttons!

I edited a couple of posts to embed the youtube videos.

You can do it yourself. See the little filmstrip button over the textbox in the Quick Reply? Click on it and paste in the youtube URL.

Anyhow, the guy hasn't paid rent since 1980 apparently. He fell behind on it and his landlord made a deal with him - free rent for handyman work.

I saw this on TV, finally someone that speaks for the people.

He won't win, but it's nice to see someone representing the common man in that state.
