So anyway, my own thinking is that an eclipse is a lot more entertaining if you think it's The Wolf taking a bite out of The Goddess, or some such, rather than just the moon getting in front of the sun, but that's the price of civilisation.

Oh, hey, Scotty, you haven't comprehended half of it. It's going to be Nuremburg 2.0. Him, his Cabinet, his family, his accomplices, and like you, his catamites. Buy a book, Scotty. Or a Saudi passport.
