| The 'Rent Is Too Damn High' Music Video Released! | |
| (quote)Ain\'t nothin\' else to talk about,- indeed. Jimmy McMillan first entered the national spotlight during a New York gubernatorial debate, bellowing that (quote)the rent is too damn high(end quote) as his prime election platform. Since then, the former candidate (running, fittingly, on the Rent Is 2 Damn High Party) has been endlessly parodied, auto-tuned, and mashed-up. But yesterday, McMillan released an album, again with the theme of pricey rent costs (of course). He also concurrently released his first-ever music video, about... you guessed it. The video certainly reflects McMillan\'s unique style, and it takes quite a literal approach to demonstrating the horrors of high rent. | |

| Obama Didn't Robo-Sign [Cartoon] | |
| zinasaundersdotcom | 24 October 2010 Robo-signing mortgage loan sharks have been churning out illegal foreclosures, while banks reap the benefits and homeowners lose. Congress even approved a bill?with uncharacteristic lightning speed?that would force courts across the country to accept robo-signed documents. Too bad for foreclosure barons that Obama squashed the bill like a bug! (Music and lyrics, written and performed by me) Sing Along: Squash another person\\\'s home Who cares about their mortgage loan Homeowners have run out of luck So bankers make an extra buck So squash the little homies flat And sign away their habitat The congress passed with lightning speed A bill to shield the banker\\\'s greed To force the courts to give assent To robo-signing documents But when the bill was on his desk Obama wouldn\\\'t give his yes! He proved he\\\'s got a stronger spine Obama didn\\\'t robo-sign Obama didn\\\'t robo-sign Obama didn\\\'t robo-sign. ?Zina Saunders 2010 | |
