The eclipse

[Longhorned]

Totality is amazing. Like the Grand Canyon, there's no point of reference while you're experiencing it. Everyone starts reacting out loud.

Based on what I heard, reactions divide among political outlooks.

Liberals thought the full eclipse was reflection of the power of science and an expression of the deep cosmic transcendence of the universe, man.

Centrists thought the full eclipse was "really neat!"

Fiscal conservatives found the full eclipse enterprising, and charged sky viewers for parking.

Social conservatives thought the full eclipse was created by the invisible hand of God, along with a silent admonishment.
