About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Contact info for Manhattan Mini-Storage

Re: The Manhattan Mini-Storage ad campaign which assumes all its customers hate the current administration, my friend at Hiphop Republican says:

Call the President of the company, Jay Gottesman at executive offices
1-973-643-7700 let him know what you think. Nicely.

There is a lovely woman who answers the phone.

As a current Manhattan Mini-Storage client, and offended by their use of anti-Bush, anti-Cheney ads, I called the parent company's chairman, Jerome Gottesman. The purpose of my call was to express my displeasure, to ask whether or not they would end the ad campaign (and if so by when), and to inform them that I will shortly become a former client if the ad campaign does not end shortly.

I received a call back from a woman named Stacy Stewart, who says that she heads up the marketing efforts for Edison Properties, and as such is responsible for the ads' content. The voice-mail message she left me said, "... the ads are not intended to be anti-Bush... "

Apparently she takes me as an idiot; unfortunately for her I am not.

The ad in question states: "Your Closet's Scarier Than Bush's Agenda."

Not Bush's plan -- his "agenda." Nice lamestream media weasel word there.

And note that, according to Manhattan Mini-Storage, Bush's plan is at least to some degree "scary." Scary, as in bad.

No, no anti-Bush ad here, nothing to see here, just keep quiet like all the other sheep, move along, move along...

I will offer Ms. Stewart the opportunity to explain her comment if and when I get her on the phone live -- she did kindly leave me her direct phone number, (973) 849-2556. But I don't expect her comments to be enough to get me to change my mind: soon, I likely will be a former customer of Manhattan Mini-Storage.

Kind regards,
