Maybe it’s just me, but I both love and fear the phrase “urgency coalition.” It’s like something out of Tom Wolfe. Beware the Urgency Coalition! Look out, the Urgency Coalition might hear you. What do they do? Who knows but they all agree that urgency is what we need most.

It might even be better than the Coalition of the Oppressed, which has long been one of my favorite phrases (I first read it on a Dupont Circle flier calling for a ban of the Gay Rodeo on the grounds that the Gay Rodeo is cruel to animals and animals are members in good standing of the Coalition of the Oppressed).

Does the Urgency Coalition give out badges? Coffee mugs?
