ANOTHER SIGN ABOUT THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Stan Honda

We've been relentlessly inundated with pollsters and pundits for months and now another has thrown their opinion into the ring: the Universe. There will be a total lunar eclipse visible to much of the US on Tuesday morning, election day. Eclipses throughout history have been regarded by many as an omen of change and often of the negative variety. I've been pretty bummed out about the apparent direction of things and this is just icing on the giant Debbie Downer cake. Not to mention the inevitability that some religious groups will seize this as a sign from the Invisible and tailor its message to whatever whackado agenda they are pushing. It's just another weight thrown on the scale of bad things heading our way and it does not look good for the home team.
