I remind people that the moon is always "full"

[gratuitous]

4. Indeed

And why does the eclipse have to happen during the workday? Why can't it be at night, when decent people are all sleeping and we won't have to listen to all this fuss?

It's almost laughable, but Mrs. gratuitous was stitching quilts with some fine old ladies at a national gathering of our denomination a few years ago. The talk somehow touched on political matters, and one woman at the quilt frame announced that all this global warming nonsense was just a hoax, and if there were holes in the ozone layer, her husband had assured her that it was because of all the rockets we'd shot into space back in the 1960s. She was dead serious.

I probably don't have to remind DUers, but these people vote.
