...is it, or is it not, too damn high?
This is the story of Vietnam veteran, karate expert, epically facially haired wannabe politician, and all-round nutter Jimmy Macmillan who's running for Governor of New York state with the "The Rent is 2 Damn High" party. He apparently has superhuman hearing, too. Policies include support for gay marriage (or even shoe marriage), bulldozing a bunch of mountains in upstate NY to create new land for job creation, and - guess what - lowering rents.
