This past Monday, New York held a Gubernatorial debate between candidates Carl Paladino, Andrew Cuomo, and long shot candidate Jimmy McMillan.
Representing “The Rent Is Too Damn High” Party, Jimmy McMillan took the debate by storm. In his speech, Jimmy stated “I represent ‘The Rent Is Too Damn High Party’”. “People are working 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week and some a third job. Women can’t afford to take care of their children, feed their children breakfast, lunch and dinner. My main job is to provide a roof over your head, food on the table and money in your pocket. This is politics as usual, playing the silly game, and this is not gonna happen.”
McMillan said the deficit is “like a cancer. It will heal itself.” On the issue of gay marriage, he said that “the Rent Is 2 Damn High Party feels if you want to marry a shoe, I’ll marry you.”
I’ve always thought the rent in New York was too damn high myself and the apartments too damn small! Check out his commentary below.

Part II of Jamal Parris exclusive interview with Fox 5 Atlanta premiered this evening and Parris continued to explain his love relationship with Bishop Eddie Long.
In the interview, Parris explained to senior I-team reporter Dale Russell, “Bishop Long is in the pulpit, Eddie Long is in the private,” said Parris. “And we know Eddie Long. That’s a whole other man.” Parris also gave details on their very sexual relationship claiming that Long constantly wanted sex whether it was in the church before and after the service.
The pot in the Eddie Long sexual coercion case is boiling! For the first time, one of Eddie Long’s accusers, Jamal Parris, has spoken out and spoken out LOUD! FOX 5 Atlanta traveled all the way to Colorado to find Jamal Parris and after some reluctancy, Jamal spoke with reporter Dale Russell in detail.
When asked about their reasons for sexual lawsuit Jamal explained, “If you look at us in our eyes and listen to the pain in our voice, we don’t have a reason to lie to this man.” Jamal continued, “I can not get the sound of his voice out of my head. And I can not forget the smell of his cologne. And I can not forget the way he made me cry many nights when I drove in his cars on the way home not able to take enough showers to wipe the smell of him off of my body.”
At the end of the interview, Jamal left a strong message for Bishop Eddie Long in reference to his sermon on Sunday proclaiming that he is not the man portrayed in the media and that message was: “While you can sit in front of the church and tell them that you categorically deny it, you can’t that to our face. And you know this! You are not a man, you are a monster!”
***Part II of Jamal Parris interview will air tonight on Fox 5 Atlanta and online. The reporter Dale Russell was on V-103 Atlanta this morning and explained that Fox 5 was in it for the long haul in reporting on this case and the accusations. Russell explained to Frank Ski that Fox 5 has a unique position when covering stories and is fortunate to be able to do in depth investigations and reports on stories unlike many of the other news channels.***
While the media circus was going on this past Sunday morning in Atlanta, GA at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and people awaited to hear what Bishop Eddie Long had to say in response to recent sexual coercion allegations, over in Dallas, TX, Bishop T. D. Jakes had his own sermon and message going on. Check out his sermonette in regards to Bishop Eddie Long, his New Birth Church, and the young men filing the lawsuit.
We can dig the “Cover the Blood” message whole-heartedly because we all need the blood of Jesus but I also must say, let’s not for one second believe that any court ruling, judge, or man made jury, whether guilty or not guilty is from the Blood of Jesus. We all know how flawed our court system and the rules that regulate them are… In the end the only person who will truly be the decider is God!
And in case you missed Bishop Eddie Long addressing his church on Sunday morning, here is the Eddie Murphy “Coming to America” Sexual Chocolate video….
Yesterday, Art Franklin, spokesperson for Bishop Eddie Long and the New Missionary Baptist Church, sent this video to BCNN1.com (Black Christian News Network) to show how a spiritual Christian father can impact a young man for God.
In the video, Bishop Long prophets over a man which prompts the man to testify about his deliverance from drug selling and the Black Mafia Family. His testimony then in turn prompts men from the church to come down to unite and rejoice for his deliverance. Truly touching.
Meanwhile, WhatsTheT.com has learned from sources that the spokesman, Art Franklin, may even be gay himself. According to sources, Art has a boyfriend with no job that he takes care of…. Of course this is all speculation and allegations.
