You're so vain, a Tampa federal judge chastised a government agent, you probably think the solar eclipse is about you.
U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday declined agent Chad Horst's request to continue a trial so he could visit the solar eclipse's zone of totality Monday.
“The solar eclipse is no longer mysterious, supernatural, foreboding, or ominous,” Merryday wrote Friday. “An eclipse is just another astral event, precisely predictable since the day the Babylonians discovered the governing formula.”
