Editorial notebook: Watching Gov. DeSantis through two press conferences from the state’s Emergency Management HQ today, next to Kevin Guthrie, Flagler’s one-time heroic emergency management director, I thought: if DeSantis was like that all the time, bearing down on governance, on what matters, on true leadership without ideological nonsense (and without insulting half the population half the time) he’d have us all eating out of his hand. We’d get somewhere. Hurricane Ian is showing him at his best. He even thanked the Biden administration, if while blanching a tinge. Pity how ideology poisons.

No sound art, in fact, could possibly be democratic. Tolstoi wrote a whole book to prove the contrary, and only succeeded in making his case absurd. The only art that is capable of reaching the Homo Boobus is art that is already debased and polluted– band music, official sculpture, Pears’ Soap painting, the popular novel.
–From H.L. Mencken’s Prejudices: First Series (1919).
