I'm a little unclear on what his platform is. Something about rent?

Damn straight. And you know what else? Vaccinations cause autism! Between him and Lippman, we've got a winning platform!

Before everyone starts loving this guy for his quirky character too much, apparently he thinks the rent too damn high because of the Jews.

Jew baiting aside, his beard got my vote.

Thanks for that, Mason. I love how he's mad at being called "Anti-Semantic and An ti-Semite".

Thanks for adding that, Kelly @8.

It's kinda sucky that you cut out the middle man like that.

I mean, when somebody shares this link on their facebook page, it's going to automatically put "via: The Stranger", generating hits for you.

Don't you think you should give due credit to how YOU found it, generating hits on up the line?

Only seems fair.

@6 Look, if you can come up with another group to blame, I'd love to hear it.

@10: I'm pretty sick of that, actually. 99% of the time the "via" link just goes to some OTHER middleman that found it somewhere else, anyway.

I'm tired of "via:via:via:via:" chains.

13: it doesn't matter if you're sick of it. Just because you're sick of the credits at the end of movies doesn't mean they should cut them out of it like nobody is responsible for the damn movie but the person who brought you there.

My favorite thing about the Slog is getting to read my favorite stories from Reddit again a day later.

14: yeah, but they don't credit your friend who told you about the movie.
