Coalition of the Chillin'

As an apparent reward for my non-squishiness, I have been accepted for membership in the Coalition of the Chillin', all bloggers who don't think the filibuster compromise means the end of civilization as we know it, and believe people should just chill.

The Coalition, which includes some really heavy-duty people, has a Manifesto and everything, including tee shirts, and only a day after its establishment, the liberals are in a dither, mounting a counter-coalition!!

The Manifesto reads thus:

Whereas we, the Coalition of the Chillin', think a lot of people are having a cow over this filibuster deal, we submit the following to our fellow Republicans, and Americans of other political stripes:

it's sometimes better to settle things in a bipartisan manner;

we're getting up and down votes on three very controversial appointees, and that's three more than we had before this deal;

the Republicans may want the filibuster preserved somewhere down the line;

the media and the Democrats would have clubbed us to death if we went nuclear, and we don't want a repeat of the '98 midterms; and most importantly,

Frodo and Bilbo both could have killed Gollum, but didn't, and he ended up destroying the One Ring, proving for all eternity that restraint can be a very good thing, indeed.

(I thought that was a nice chillin' color -- ice blue)

We also have this cool logo:
