Wait for it

This is the multimedia companion website for Family Matters II: Greener’s Law, a nonfiction book by Joel Rosenberg and Walter Slovotsky.

I’m Walter, the coauthor and webmaster.

With the possible exception of me, this is all real: the documents, videos, voice recordings, photos the whole shebang. Yeah, and the dialogue. No, this is not a novel; it’s a nonfiction sequel to at least several of Joel’s novels, though.

Pinky swear. If some — much of this is a little obscure and ambiguous, that’s intentional. For the moment. All will be explained.

Short form: they should have left his family alone. They really should have.

Joel Rosenberg Trumped-up Charges Arraignment 1:30 Today

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (December 09, 2010) - Today at 1:30 p.m., Joel Rosenberg will be arraigned on the fraudulent charges brought against him in retaliation for his complaint against Minneapolis Police Sergeant William Palmer.

Rosenberg was arrested yesterday at Minneapolis City Hall on a warrant based on a complaint that falsely alleged that Rosenberg carried a gun into a court facility in violation of state law and a court order. Neither is true.

That's Joel. I call him “the boss.”

New Orleans, September 1, 1988

“I’m sorry, Mr. Rosenberg, but we seem to have lost your reservation for a single room.  We’ll have to put you up at one of the outlying hotel —

“No. Get me a room, here.  It’s been a long day, and my wife’s tired, snd wants to take a nap. So she’s going to be napping in fifteen minutes.  That means you get us a room, here, now. Understood?”

“But there’s nothing we can do.  I simply don’t have a single room for you.

“Look:  I know the scam.  You overbook the hotel, and then move folks over to your partner hotels, and take a kickback.  I’m not interested.  Get me a room, now, or I’ll get angry.  You won’t like it if I get angry.”

“Are you threatening me, sir?”
“Nah. I’m just telling you that you don’t want to get a writer angry. Get a mafioso angry, first; all they can do is kill you. Me, I’ll make you live forever. What’s your pleasure, sir?”

Long pause. “We don’t have a single room, but would a two-room suite be acceptable, Mr. Rosenberg? At the price of a single, of course.”

“That’ll do. Thank you, and have a great day.”

“Thank you, Mr. Rosenberg.”

“Nah. I’m done being an asshole. Just call me Joel.”

“You have a good day, Joel.”

 “You, too.”
