Coffee With Commissioner Scott Spradley: Flagler Beach Commission Chairman Scott Spradley hosts his weekly informal town hall with coffee and doughnuts at 9 a.m. at his law office at 301 South Central Avenue, Flagler Beach. All subjects, all interested residents or non-residents welcome. The gatherings occasionally feature a special guest. Today’s: The often opinionated, never dull Penny Overstreet, Flagler Beach’s City Clerk, who knows the city’s history and inner workings better than most.

Peps Art Walk, noon to 5 p.m. next to JT’s Seafood Shack, 5224 Oceanshore Blvd, Palm Coast. Step into the magical vibes of Unique Handcrafted vendors gathering in one location, selling handmade goods. Makers, crafters, artists, of all kinds found here. From honey to baked goods, wooden surfboards, to painted surfboards, silverware jewelry to clothing, birdbaths to inked glass, beachy furniture to foot fashions, candles to soaps, air fresheners to home decor and SO much more! Peps Art Walk happens on the last Saturday of every month. A grassroots market that began in May of 2022 has grown steadily into an event with over 30 vendors and many loyal patrons. The event is free, food and drink on site, parking is free, and a raffle is held to raise money for local charity Whispering Meadows Ranch. Kid friendly, dog friendly, great music and good vibes. Come out to support our hometown artist community!

Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.




In medias res: The Economist thinks “American comedy has become too safe on TV,” and points to several cringe-worthy examples, from Colin Jost’s tame, fawning routine at a recent correspondents’ dinner to Stephen Colbert’s degradation into another Jimmy Fallon. “[A] more common problem may be sincerity: Mr Colbert, Mr Meyers and others believe that Mr Trump is a threat to democracy and that Mr Biden has been unfairly maligned. Why knock Mr Biden when the election is expected to be so close, the thinking goes, given the vile alternative? They still want to make their audiences laugh but subordinate humour to politesse out of a sense of responsibility. .[…] Consider the correspondents’ dinner in 2006, when Mr Colbert delivered a searing critique of George W. Bush as he sat only a few feet away. The roast was so personal and intense—lambasting Mr Bush’s foreign policy and anti-intellectualism—that several Bush aides left in the middle of the act. It is hard to imagine a television host ever again being as harsh as Mr Colbert was nearly 20 years ago. And it is even harder to imagine late-night shows returning to their old place as the heart of American comedy. Americans seeking comic relief, rather than partisan affirmation, will look elsewhere.”

In Detroit and especially in New York City, late in the campaign of 1968, thousands of supporters would wait, sometimes for two hours, to hear him speak, and then offer a “standing, screaming ovation of 20 minutes” that brought him to the front edge of the stage *at least eight times with each bow prompting increasing sound and fury” Scuffles with protesters invariably broke out, and Wallace was happy to warn his detractors about what was coming. “You better have your say now, I can tell you that,” he lectured them, playing to the audience who “loved it as they do at every stop he makes,” because
“after November 5, you anarchists are through in this country.” The New Republic’s political correspondent Richard Strout (TRB to the magazine’s readers) drew a different sort of analogy for the “spectacle he encountered at [Madison Square] Garden” that “nothing had prepared him for.” «There is a menace in the blood shout of the crowd,” he recorded. “You feel you have known this all somewhere, never again will you read about Berlin in the 30′ without remembering this wild confrontation of two irrational forces.” Wallace, Strout insisted, was the “ablest demagogue of our time, with a bugle voice of venom and a gut knowledge of the prejudices” of his supporters. And although Strout did not fear that Wallace would win when the election was held, the “sympathy for him is another matter.” Wallace was, as one of his discerning biographers observed, “the most influential loser in modern American politics?” Little in the present day brings that judgment into dispute.

—Steven Hahn, Illiberal America (2024).
