A Coalition of Cool Heads

Blogs are great for ranting, and great for those who are prone to loud ranting. An angry outburst is usually rewarded with readership and linkage. As a result the "conversation" amongst the blogs can get a bit... heated. Kudos to Mark Coffee at Decision '08 for declaring himself the founding member of the Coalition of the Chillin'. Already many bloggers, both great and not-so-great, but all cool-headed, are boldly admitting that they are not inflamed over the collapse of Republican discipline (The Republicans should be proud that they even have any discipline to lose.) I too remain cool-to-the-touch this week, as I did in early November, when my many Democratic party friends and neighbors burst into full flame. I nearly lost it, I admit, this spring when a young woman I'd never met succumbed to dehydration, but I recovered quickly and hope to remain among the chillin' right through this globally-warmed summer.

Update: Mark has posted a manifesto. Points one and five are my favorites.
