“Driving Miss Daisy” at Flagler Playhouse, 301 E. Moody Blvd. Bunnell. 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. on Sunday. The place is the Deep South, the time 1948, just prior to the civil rights movement. Having recently demolished another car, Daisy Werthan, a rich, sharp-tongued Jewish widow of seventy-two, is informed by her son, Boolie, that henceforth she must rely on the services of a chauffeur. The person he hires for the job is a thoughtful, unemployed black man, Hoke, whom Miss Daisy immediately regards with disdain and who, in turn, is not impressed with his employer’s patronizing tone and, he believes, her latent prejudice. But, in a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years, the two, despite their mutual differences, grow ever closer to, and more dependent on, each other, until, eventually, they become almost a couple.

Notably: ” “I am a sick man, I am a spiteful man, I am an unattractive man. I think my liver hurts.” It is Dostoevsky’s birthday (1821). And Kurt Vonnegut’s (1922). Oddly enough, Vonnegut is known for his “so it goes” line in Slaughterhouse Five, but you’ll find it first in Notes from Underground (from which the opening line of this paragraph is taken), where the protagonist says it, anticipating Kurt: “‘Well, so it goes,’ I reply.” It is also Carlos Fuentes’s birthday (1928). It’s also the opening of the Gay Games in, of all places, Hong Kong: why do the Chinese land these competitions? At least it’s not in Qatar.

All these varieties of speech are beautiful, just as the varieties of butterflies are beautiful. No matter what your first language, you should treasure it all your life. If it happens not to be standard English, and if it shows itself when you write standard English, the result is usually delightful, like a very pretty girl with one eye that is green and one that is blue.
–From Kurt Vonnegut’s Palm Sunday (1981).

HA! Now, even Fox Entertainment and the New York Post is giving Trump the boot! The Republican politicians are calling him “over with.” Yeah, when it effects their personal pockets, and ratings, the rats finally jump ship! So much for being concerned about our country.
Grab your popcorn, Trump’s boy, loyal DeSantis and Trump will be grabbing each other by the balls.
What goes around, comes around.

The only silver lining to this election is that each vote for Gov. DeSantis was a vote against former President Donald Trump.
I just wonder if the yahoos with their Fuck Biden , Trump is my President flags etc….were driving around Flagler Beach (one of their may haunts ) while the Governor and most probably Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis was surveying the damage Nicole had caused in Flagler Beach.

Fla a swing state. Crist and Demings got beat bad. The race in Fla is usually very close, what happened? We Dems know how to take defeat with dignity and poise and we move on. The Repubs not so much, they lie, storm the capitol, kill people and still deny the results. They are doing it now. Who are the mature adults, the Democrats are. Keep being mature Democratic Party, perhaps the Republican Party will grow up decades down the road.
