The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Thursday, July 1, 2021

Today at the editor’s glance: The calendar below says Drug Court is in session today, but in fact, it is not: it has the week off, presumably because of the Independence Day weekend ahead. No such luck for the judges. At 1:30 p.m. Circuit Judge Terence Perkins hears a motion by Louis Occhilupo’s attorney for conditional release. Occhilupo is the 56-year-old man arrested two years ago for luring a 10-year-old girl into his apartment, where he allegedly proceed to touch her–and briefly kept her from leaving the apartment when she became uncomfortable. Facing a felony child abuse charge, Occhilupo was determined to be incompetent to stand trial in March and committed to a state psychiatric hospital. He suffers from delusions and told his psychologist that the court was against him and that “what they’re trying to do is actually murder me.” The psychologist concluded that Occhilupo was a danger to others, concluding in his report that “there exists a substantial likelihood that in the near future Occhilupo will inflict serious bodily harm to others, as evidenced by recent behavior threatening such harm.” Six weeks ago, the court found him competent to proceed to trial after all. Lowe deception: The Observer’s Jonathan Simmons reports on the latest of Palm Coast Mayoral candidate Alan Lowe’s deceptions, this one involving Lowe’s use of a photograph of himself with Gov. Ron DeSantis implying an endorsement on a campaign flyer. The Republican Party of Florida disowned te suggestion, which was not explicit. The Tour de France‘s 6th stage today is a 100-mile romp from Tours–which counts René Descartes, Balzac and Ronsard among its favorite sons–to Chateauroux, which has only Gérard Depardieu. The stage is a sprinter’s favorite. Starting at 7:45 a.m. on Peacock. Euro 2020: The teams have one more day off before two quarterfinal matches Friday–Switzerland v. Spain and Belgium v. Italy. With all the big guns out, it’s anybody’s tournament now.

“History as a weapon is an abuse of history. The high purpose of history is not the presentation of self nor the vindication of identity but the recognition of complexity and the search for knowledge.”

–Arthur Schlesinger Jr., “The Disuniting of America” (1992).

    @All things considered

    RE: Today’s quote

    “History as a weapon is an abuse of history. The high purpose of history is not the presentation of self nor the vindication of identity but the recognition of complexity and the search for knowledge.”
    –Arthur Schlesinger Jr., “The Disuniting of America” (1992).

    A POV on the aforementioned:

    Why Arthur Schlesinger’s ‘Disuniting of America’ Lives On

    By Michael Lind
    Nov. 2, 2017

    “…Like other memorable tracts for the times, “The Disuniting of America” blends passages of enduring relevance with much that has become obsolete. Today, what is most striking about this book and other entries in the late-20th-century battle of the books is the assumption shared by all sides in the canon wars that the fate of the nation might depend on the content of the curriculum, as determined by academic experts.

    Since Schlesinger wrote, there has been a collapse in the authority of establishments of all kinds, not just academics. In the age of Twitter and Facebook and 24-hour cable news, public intellectuals like Schlesinger, based in the academy or in journalism, have lost influence over public opinion to movie stars, cable commentators, pop musicians and late-night comedians…”
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/02/books/review/arthur-m-schlesinger-jr-multiculturalists-monoculturalists.html

    And always, there is Orwell:

    “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
    ― George Orwell, 1984

      Don’t leave out C. S. Lewis, whose comments about placing limits on educators includes the following: “We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

        @A dangling conversation

        “The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That’s the deal.”
        ― C.S. Lewis

        But seriously, you’re (as always) right on point. George Carlin – a nation turns its lonely eyes…
