Bruised, Battered, but Resolved

I was going to write a long, eloquent diatribe tonight. But, instead, I'll just repeat my facebook status:

We, as a nation, need to take a deep breath tonight. Not so we can scream louder at each other, but so we have time to think about what we say next. I was telling a friend that I've never seen the emotions quite so raw on the political blogs as tonight. We all need to stop, and go to bed. The fight will be there tomorrow morning. Good night.
