The Weekend Cartoon and Live Briefing: Friday, July 2, 2021

Today at the editor’s glance: Leon Wiley, whom a jury on April 29 found guilty of raping his under-age step-daughter, is sentenced by Flagler County Circuit Court Judge Terence Perkins at 9 a.m. in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County courthouse. The hearing is expected to be more than a formality, with some people testifying–some on behalf of Wiley. The prosecution is expected to call for a maximum sentence of 30 years or more, bringing out quite a bit more evidence than was allowed at trial, such as Wiley’s impregnation of his step-daughter, who was contemporaneously having sexual relations with Wiley’s son (who attempted to declare himself the father to spare his own father criminal prosecution). Wiley is also facing two child-rape charges in Volusia County, where, in testimony at the Flagler trial, he admitted to engaging in sexual relations with his step-daughter. It is possible he will plead to those charges and be sentenced concurrently to both the Flagler conviction and the Volusia charges. See an earlier article here. The Tour de France‘s 7th stage today is a 250-km romp through the heart of France, the longest of the Tour, from Vierzon–the city alluded to in one of Jacques Brel’s great songs, “Vesoul“–to Le Creusot, famous for its foundries. Le Creuso’s motto could have been smelted in Pittsburgh: “Fac ferrum fer spem,” Working iron brings hope. The stage will test the cyclists’ climbing mettle for the first time, with several summits, is a sprinter’s favorite. Starting at 7:45 a.m. on Peacock. Euro 2020: TBack in action today with two quarterfinal matches: Switzerland v. Spain and Belgium v. Italy.

“The structure of American society makes it almost impossible for criticism of existing policies to become part of political discourse. The language of American politics increasingly resembles an Orwellian monologue.”

–Christopher Lasch, “The Agony of the American Left” (1969).

    Good night sweet prince:

    Valedictory

    The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy.
    by Christopher Lasch.
    Norton. 256 pp. $22.00.

    “The historian Christopher Lasch, who died of cancer in February of last year, was a rare commodity, a cultural analyst and critic whose work actually grew steadily more interesting, and more independent of conventional ideological constraints, as he grew older. It makes for a poignant experience, then, to read his final book, completed in the weeks just before his death, when his labors must have been sustained by a deep sense of urgency.

    Even more than any of his other books, this one is written in direct language, with a broad, nonacademic audience clearly in mind. Perhaps Lasch hoped this work would be a kind of intellectual testament, a distillation of his evolving perspective on contemporary American society. Though historically informed, it makes no pretense of being a work of historical scholarship, devoting most of its attention instead to the discontents of the present day and the prospects for tomorrow.

    The view that Lasch takes of these prospects is often bitterly angry and almost unrelievedly gloomy…”

    And so it goes indeed.
