Text of the page (random words):
and publisher paul levitz at that time feiffer talked about his in progress graphic novel kill my mother a work heavily influenced by classic film noir the novel was published earlier this month and i had gotten a copy of it in my hot little hands as i listened to lethem and feiffer i ll try to return to the subject of their talk movements of the left from the 30s to now at some point but the current tale jumps to right after the authors talk the men are signing their books i get in the feiffer line a nice lady handed out post its urging us to write down our names and stick the on the page we wanted signed i debated whether i wanted my first name or full name and opted for the latter when i got to the front of the line i put my book down in front of jules feiffer he looked at my name and said robert george the journalist wait what i said uh yes he said from the post i said yes that s me oh i enjoy seeing you on steve kornacki holy crap i reminded him that i had seen him last year at nycc as i did then i again thanked him for writing and editing many decades back the great comic book heroes a work that helped stimulate my already nascent interest in the graphic medium feiffer responded by saying that he was sorry that he didn t recognize me in my civilian clothes rather than tv friendly jacket and tie i was wearing short sleeves and tan slacks wow jules freaking feiffer recognized my name knew me was honored to meet me wow simply wow suddenly glynn turman s words from the memorial service the day before returned it s who knows you that s important yes new york stories still happen labels glynn turman jonathan lethem jules feiffer ruby dee posted by robert a george 11 46 am sunday june 14 2015 transracial transgressions the rachel dolezal story took over regular and social media last week quickly becoming the dominant basically insane story of the moment not counting presidential announcements over on facebook my friend tina dupuy admitted that dolezal was kooky and cringe inducing but that her parents were dicks i ve seen variations of this line around social media over the last couple of days harshly criticizing rachel s parents for outing her what follows is my response to tina slightly edited and expanded for general consumption her parents are dicks right they re such dicks that they adopted two actual african american kids in fact the weird stor y about rachel is that she didn t start taking on the black identity until after her parents did the adoption thing well mom and dad want black kids i ll give them another one that s why i give them a benefit of the doubt and her zero her parents ruined her career it was a career built on a falsehood furthermore they came forward only after she made some dubious claims about being a victim of a hate crime given that she s lived her life as a lie skepticism on how far she would go to perpetuate that lie is more than warranted moreover it s the ultimate in white privilege to put on black face and then decide to shoot for a leadership role in a black organization and something for those over thinkers who serously want to make comparisons between the caitlyn jenner transgender situation and dolezal s transracial assertion yes melissa i m talking to you get real historically black americans who did the opposite passed for white did so to survive in a racist society for them exposure meant true ruin in some states even death for rachel dolezal it means momentary embarrassment more acceptance by a too forgiving black community the talk show circuit a book deal and oh yes living the rest of her life as a white person boo fucking hoo update thanks tara l martin for passing along this buzzfeed interview of rachel s adopted actually black brother ezra some major duplicity and emotional manipulation going on with this woman update ii for those wondering about melissa this is to whom i was referring update iii tip of the hat too to josh marshal l for identifying the original story that launched the firestorm no it wasn t the washington post labels naacp race rachel dolezal posted by robert a george 4 37 pm monday march 02 2015 cpac in black and brown it s been a few years since i went down to dc to revel in the madness that is cpac or comic con for conservatives as told one friend somewhat unfamiliar with the goings on the last time newt was one of the speakers he was greeted like the rock star he once was he entered the hall to survivor s eye of the tiger anyway i hadn t planned on attending this year but my old capitol hill friend ron christie asked me to participate in a panel he was moderating called the content of your character oh my what on earth might that be about yep it s another outreach thing seriously haven t we done enough of those does anything really change in republican conservative environments on that topic and oh yeah they scheduled us for 3 pm on saturday near the end of the third full day many people would already be heading for the exits do i really need to put myself through this but ron asked me and hey the principles of improv urge you to say yes uh robert remember that definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result i chatted with ron on friday and told him if i was going to do this i d do it on my terms and say what i wanted to say not just recite the same old pablum attendees at these gatherings always get anyway that s what i did besides ron and myself the panel included mercedes mercy schlapp wife of cpac s organizer matt her parents fled cuba when castro took over i met her mother the memory and the anger is still there though i fall into that camp who believes u s policy toward cuba must change it s hardly a clear cut case on either side mercedes warned conservatives that regardless of where they stood on the issue of immigration the tone they adopted was as important as the policy itself the fourth person was patrice lee a smart attractive young woman from the organization generation opportunity a free market millenals focused group she looked at criminal justice issues as something that could open doors to some in the minority community patrice also revealed that she was from the caribbean island of monserat thankfully she s protestant so i didn t have to lose my catholic west indian black republican line while we each included biographical moments in our remarks i tried to focus more on getting republicans off of the old party of lincoln baloney candidates inevitably start presenting when they campaign in front of communities of color as i said i m glad that you support lincoln s freeing of the slaves but seriously what do you have to say to black communities today this sentiment also extends to the even more prevalent party of reagan line i asked how many attendees were born after 1989 about two thirds of the audience hands went up these young kids weren t even alive when ronald reagan was president so why is it reagan this reagan that for gop candidates i didn t get a chance to make this point but it s interesting to note that democrats rarely refer to themselves as the party of roosevelt or kennedy or carter uh well scratch that one next year they may talk party of clinton but that s a special case democrats do celebrate their legislative legacies social security medicare civil rights act etc but not the personalities perhaps republicans might consider doing the same if they re looking to capture the next generation of voters our cpac panel can be seen here labels american conserivative union black conservatives cpac race posted by robert a george 9 00 pm friday february 27 2015 rag on wsj your humble sometimes blogger hey i m still technically here i haven t put a complete end to ragged thots as andrew sullivan did to the now departed dormant daily dish returned to opinion journal on friday i chatted with mary kissel on the squabbles over new york city mayoral control of public schools on one side is of course the mayor bill de blasio on the other is his favorite nemesis gov andrew cuomo check out the video for the rest our nyp editorial will give further context labels andrew cuomo bill de blasio charter schools schools posted by robert a george 10 30 pm monday october 27 2014 an open farewell letter to at t to whom it may concern i shall keep this brief as the bulk of my complaints can be found in the e mail that i sent two weeks ago to att customer care alas the lack of response after i detailed the lack of service poor service at two of your new york stores causes me to take this additional public step this letter was sent at the encouragement of a gentleman named mattr running the attcustomercare handle he contacted me after i had shared on twitter my experiences at the above mentioned two stores the full letter runs below minus my e mail address and cellphone number after the letter you ll learn what the resolution to this from your offices has been from robert a george to attcustomercare att com sent monday october 13 2014 3 22 am subject re twitter ref _00de0czfk _500e0flw36 ref dear mattr after four days attending a convention at the javits center where i needed two power batteries to get through the day i realized my iphone 4s is in desperate need of replacement while my contract isn t up until december i understand i qualify for an early upgrade with a next plan i wanted to discuss my options at the manhattan location 209 w 34th street 7th ave i arrived at about 6 20 pm the lights were on and at least three employees were inside two were seated near the far wall discussing something a third had his back to the window on the door was posted sunday hours of 10 00 am 7 00 pm see attached photo which also shows employees i tried the door locked tried again obviously locked the employees continued whatever they were doing as i tried to figure out what was going on a 30 something businessman wearing a suit approached and tried the door at this point the employee with his back to the window and door turned and waved cut off motion to indicate the store was closed and showed 6 fingers the businessman shrugged his shoulders and said guess i ll have to go up to times square he left in the next few minutes several people including a marine and a nicely dressed woman came by tried the door and showed visible irritation that a store that appeared open was closed interestingly it wasn t until about 6 40 that the storefront security gate was lowered and the lights were turned off at this point i decided to follow in the footsteps of the businessman i got on the subway and headed to the 3 times square location this is a bi level at t store a few phones and tablets at street level with the bulk of merchandise one flight down notably at street level there is an iphone display a 6 plus a 6 and a 5s the 6 plus and 5s were in working condition the 6 which i was most interested in was dead or to be accurate it wasn t plugged in i tried to connect it before an employee finally did so after several minutes the apple logo appeared but instead of turning on it rebooted again briefly started at which point an icloud login appeared with a password prompt i asked the employee about it she said oh a customer must have done that i asked can t you override it she said no so the iphone 6 reboots again but is not actually charging see photo attached finally the employee tells me oh you can try the one downstairs so i ve been standing around for ten minutes waiting for an apparently defective iphone 6 to charge while there was a working one downstairs all along i went downstairs tried the iphone 6 a bit but was at last exhausted at the customer service or lack thereof at two at t stores in the busiest part of manhattan final note while outside the times square store where i had begun communicating with your office i ran into the businessman i met at the 34th street location his name is kevin we shook our heads over how the evening had gone it turns out we are both longtime at t customers dating back to when we d been with cingular i can t speak for kevin but i m quite disappointed with the lack of communication and poor service by at t customer personnel at two central manhattan locations thank you for your time in exploring this matter cordially robert a george 347 xxx xxxx p s apologies for an earlier draft version of this correspondence without photos i sent a follow up e mail to make sure that mattr received the letter he responded in the affirmative two weeks later i ve yet to receive any response to this letter instead one day later i got this random text thanking me for the social media contact and asking how likely i was to recommend att service in the future given this complete lack of attention to what i believe to be legitimate concerns about att retail service and now customer care there s no way i can give a positive response despite more than a decade with at t with my contract coming to an end in the coming weeks it seems i should be looking at what sprint t mobile and verizon have to offer in the future cordially robert a george posted by robert a george 2 07 am saturday october 11 2014 rag on msnbc s kornaki is losing winning it s new york comic con weekend and i had planned four days of freedom then my cell rings on friday evening with steve kornacki s producer asking if i can be available saturday morning to talk midterms sorry for the last minute notice but we want to examine the notion that there s a silver lining to the dem s seemingly likely loss of the senate bill scher wrote a piece for politico making that claim well while not exactly thrilled at having to put my analysis hat on pre nycc saturday the craziest day of the weekend i agreed to and it went well i strongly disagreed with scher s thesis the likelihood of investigations alone would make democrats the president most of all rather queasy at the idea of the gop having complete control of congress but anyway feel free to see for yourself surprisingly being forced to get up early turned out to be its own silver lining i did a couple kornacki segments and was at nycc by 10 30 participated in a promotion for the video release of one million ways to die in the west and ended up walking away with a free blu ray sweet and the rest of the day went quite well too so here s to mixing work with pleasure posted by robert a george 11 00 pm friday august 15 2014 rag on huffpost live my debut appearance on huffpost live the
