The time for niceties is over.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nan Whaley’s campaign has gone nowhere since the primary more than four months ago.

She was 15% behind in a reputable poll immediately after the primary and she has remained 15% behind in other recent reputable polls.

Nan must fire her campaign manager and advisers immediately and find a new set who can put her on the right path. I am not convinced that Nan’s own campaign judgment is all that stellar either, but she can’t fire herself.

Her opponent Gov. Mike DeWine has outfoxed her at every turn

First, he stayed quiet and tried to rebuild the Republican coalition, 52% of which abandoned him in the primary. Republicans are better at forgiving and forgetting after disputes. DeWine offered them some extremist anti-abortion red meat to smooth the process. His latest coup was getting the endorsement from former President Trump that makes it more likely that the Trumpers who passed on DeWine in the primary will come home.

Jean-Luc Godard: “Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.

Pusha T: “Shorty in my ear say she got a thong on.”

Jean-Luc Godard died at the age of 91. Upon hearing of the French New Wave’s director’s death, I rode COTA to the Columbus Metropolitan Library’s website and requested as many movies as possible. I spent my weekend bumping Pusha T’s latest album while watching Breathless.

I thought: Godard lived until 91. He did something correct.

I aligned my Flex Beats headphones with my iPhone and jumped on the 31 from Lane and High. I transferred and boarded the number 8 via Neil Avenue from South Campus.

I jumped the COTA and walked two minutes until I was standing looking at Pusha T’s name from Kemba Live’s sign.

I set my Flex Beats headphones, writing utensil, wallet, Futura Lanyard, and iPhone on a tray. After the metal detectors, I was frisked, and I walked towards the stage.

This critic usually reviews plays with deep social, psychological and philosophical significance, such as A Noise Within’s Animal Farm, Orwell’s satire about the revolution betrayed in Russia; Deaf West Theatre’s mounting of the Greek tragedy Oedipus at the Getty Villa; and Antaeus’ Everybody, an adaptation of the Christian morality play Everyman, about the meaning of life. I appreciated all of these quality productions but by far the most enjoyable work I’ve had the good fortune to experience this year is Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, a musical comedy without any deep political, Freudian or existential messages.
