He's a sticky commodity. What will happen now?

Can we hope that “O” will not embarrass us by taking credit for this?

Surely you must be kidding. The world is now a safer place. Birds can sing in major, not minor keys. Lots of old pianos will spontaneously tune themselves. Droughts, volcanoes, and sinkholes will reverse themselves. And above all, mankind’s collision course with the global warming of his own making will diminish, although there is still much work to do and in case you’re wondering, no, he will not rest until his laser-like focus brings these problems to their rightful and just conclusions.
