Notably: Is print making a comeback? “This week,” the Times reported in mid-August, “This week, The Onion began distributing a print edition for the first time in more than a decade and will soon deliver it monthly to everyone who subscribes to its site. The move is a throwback to the publication’s roots as a campus weekly in the late 1980s. […] The print edition is part of a variety of perks that the company plans to offer online subscribers, who pay $5 a month.” The Economist’s headline was snappier: “The Onion’s cutting edge: paper: A new era dawns for America’s self-declared finest news source.” Ben Collins, a former NBC reporter, is now the CEO of Global Tetrahedron, which owns the paper. “I just didn’t want this thing to go away,” he says. “Will it work? Mr Collins claims that the Onion has already beaten their target for print subscribers four-fold. The paper has readers who have known it for decades; many have missed the print version. Online, po-faced outrage stifles satire, and it is harder to maintain a distinctive brand when so many readers flit in from social media or search engines, suggests Chad Nackers, the editor-in-chief. Print provides a chance to do more daring, extended jokes again, and build a new fanbase.” The timing is not bad either. Four more years of Trump should be a boon. An easy headline last week: “Ohioan Disturbed By Reports Of Haitians Eating Vegetables.” Or: “Vatican City Police Unveil New Unit Of Sin-Sniffing Dogs.” It’s no Charlie Hebdo or Le Canard enchaîné, but we’ll take what we can, though $99 for just 12 issues seems a bit steep.

In Lolita, Nabokov does not use a single obscene word to describe the highly erotic situations and scenes. I shall likewise refrain from the terms commonly employed to describe the sort of alimentation my various companions and I had to choke down. With very few – always triumphantly celebrated – exceptions during the journey, it was impossible to divine why these vomitive victuals, desperately trying to look like the lacquered perfection in the advertisements, should be supposed for human consumption at all. Ethnic cuisine offered no escape, as anyone who has tasted the Chinese egg rolls in Flagstaff, Arizona, or the Bavarian Knödel in Abbeville, South Carolina, knows. It is common knowledge that some of the worst food on this globe is eaten in Greece; so why, in God’s name, does every Greek who comes to America and is not as rich as Onassis or Niarchos immediately open a Greek restaurant? And how come the American public has not yet realized that bad Italian food has done more damage to this country than Cosa Nostra ever did? In Florence, Oregon, I definitely turned anti-pasta!

–From Gregor von Rezzori’s “A Stranger in Lolitaland” (1993).

    A Scripps News article contains two snippets of information that may or may not prove interesting to FlaglerLive readers.

    Since 1993, federal law mandates that all who fill out voter registration forms must self-affirm citizenship, under penalty of perjury, a felony offense.

    Second, a Brennan Center survey of more than 23 million votes cast in the 2016 election uncovered 30 instances of “suspected” noncitizen voting.

    Makes of this what you will. Me? I don’t know but I suspect that Flagler County has at least 30 voting precincts, possibly more. This offers scale to the possibility that non-citizen voting could alter election outcomes. Given the thousands and thousands of precincts in Florida and the tens and tens of thousands of precincts in America, the chance that just one of those 30 suspected noncitizens voted in Flagler County in 2016 is miniscule. Lacking evidence that after the 2016 election today’s election’s supervisors suddenly began letting non-citizens register to vote, it strikes me that the issue of non-citizen voting is a mirage, a straw man, a deception.

    The cartoon is sad but true. During President Obama’s Administration, the rumor was Obama will take all our guns. Gun sales skyrocketed. Now the same rumor is being spread about Harris, a gun owner. Walz is a gun owner too. Yep, good for sales. The kids are “in our hearts and prayers.”
