Liberal Housemate Wanted (Madison, WI)
I just saw this sign at Just Coffee (fair trade coffee shop) in Madison, Wisconsin this weekend and it made me laugh. It also made me realize it's been a while since I looked for a roommate. Apparently, people no longer look for housemates based on their inherent sense of cleanliness and ability to pay rent on time. Today, what one seeks in a roommate is a "liberal" way of life. Republicans need not apply. What about embracing diversity, kids?
The poster says "we are serious about recycling, voting, not wasting food, water, electricity, etc." Is that honestly what "liberal" has become in this country? And, what do you mean by "serious about voting"?
Honestly, in a town like Madison, the nest of American creativity (just a reminder - Jon Stewart, S. Colbert, The Onion...- all started here), is it even possible to find a non-liberal housemate?

The ad should read "Controlling a-hole looking for roommate who will put up with me."

hey!
well fellers, i am one of the owners of just coffee and we don't have a cafe-- we only roast coffee for cafes and stores. i'm not sure where you saw the sign you refer to. maybe a cafe that serves our coffee?
thanks for the mention though, and if you all don't vote, i'll still respect you in the morning...
