1. Had a latte in my life

I call bullshit. You've at least finished one for someone else.

And the point is?

How unfortunate for you!

I just had a #1 this morning, and it was delicious! 2 through 4, never.

I've had Birkenstocks and worn a latte.

well, i've never driven a prius...

So does that mean you're not a Seattle native (1, 3) or a California transplant (2, 4)?

@4 - you drank pee this morning? Woah, non sequitur!!!

I've never either. But if you do, you fit the profile of an Obama supporter according to the Clinton campaign.

Sadly I have had a latte

So is this a math equation? equals nw trustafarian?

I've never either. I'm also black and have been a supporter of Obama since 2006. So the Clinton campaigners would hate to talk to me for those reasons. Btw, the black community has taken away Bill's honorary "black" card, especially after the crap he was doing and saying against Obama in Nevada and SC.

Driving a Prius is weird... there's that whole push button start thing, and there's no park on the gear shifter.

Then I'm pretty sure "Pria" my trusty navigator got pissed that I decided to change my route mid-trip; she wouldn't shut up about it, even going so far as to nag me to turn around and drive 20 miles out of my way just so I'd take the freeway... And I'm pretty sure I heard her call me cheap for filling her with unleaded!

Needless to say, I'm still bitter.

I REJECT and DENOUNCE all four points!

Oh, yeah?!!

Well I've worn Birkenstocks--with socks!

1. I'm drinking a latte right now.

2. I drove a Prius when I worked for the City of Seattle. (Review: Quiet; too difficult to start; too difficult to see out the back, boring interior.)

3. Have never worn or even tried on Birkenstocks.

4. Never had a trust fund.

i just had my first latte ever a couple weeks ago. i'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

Lattes are gross. All that milk! You should drink macchiatos if you don't want just straight espresso, Josh.

Priuses are a fad.

Birkenstocks are forever.

Trust funds are for sharing.

I'm wearing Birkenstocks right now and I'm drinking a latte.

Side story: I've recently moved to Palm Springs, and whenever I see someone wearing socks and sandals I ask them if they are from Seattle then laugh like a maniac. Oh, the fun I have!

Are we talking about Stuff White People Like again? I basically fit all but four too.

Is that supposed to impress us somehow?

1, 2, & 3, but not 4.

i can only hope for a mega millions miracle.

Do you want people to think you're a douchebag?

But didn't you once work for Nader or something?

What are you, new? I've definitely had a latte (from Starbucks, blow me) and driven a Prius (my mom's). I haven't worn Birkenstocks, but I've definitely rocked the socks-and-sandals combo. And I've never had a trust fund per se, but my parents did pay for my college with the GET program and my grandma gave me a bunch of money when I graduated.

and josh, didn't the clinton campaing disavow the machinist union president's comments? or am i confusing that with mccain's disavowal of the "hussein" reptetition by douchebag bill cunningham of cincinnati's shame, WLW?

have i mentioned how i NEVER miss ohio?

and if a prius is too "diffucult" to start, you must have a tough time tying your shoes. step on the brake pedal & press the start button. that's it. jesus.

I have a Prius but none of that other stuff. I'm a conservative that likes having a hatchback that gets 40-60 MPG (depending on how you drive it).

And I can't for the life of me figure out why that doesn't make sense to other conservatives. (Or a balanced budget, or a galaxy of other neocon idiocies.)

@24,

or something.

I have never:

1. Eaten lutefisk

2. Driven down Market St. going 3 MPH with my seatbelt dangling out the car door

3. Shot smack while listening to a Jesus Lizard record

4. Laughed out loud at one of John Keister's jokes

Therefore, I am not a true Seattle native and have no business staying here any longer, and am hereby initiating a Back to Scandinavia movement. Copenhagen, here I come!

Are you about to write for line out?
Or did someone assumed something about you?

Oh the bad grammar above. Sorry.

I've had a latte.

I've never driven a prius, but my car gets the same gas millage.

@ 30. I'm so jealous of people lacking swedish childhood christmas dinners. You literally made me shudder with that

This "slur" goes back further than the machinist union douchebag. It was a popular meme during the 90s conservative revolution and also was used to dismiss Gore supporters in 2000 and Dean supporters in 2004. Maybe goes back even further.

It's an appeal to middle state voters atried to frame a "Blue state" vs. "Red state" culture war. It portrays Democratic voters as elitist libruls out of touch with the taste and sensibilities of "real" Americans.

They can drink a soy latte, but can they harvest a soy field?

"The Gore-voting people of the Blue states, meanwhile, were dismissed with what we will call the latte libel: the suggestion that liberals are identifiable by their tastes and consumer preferences and that these tastes and preferences reveal the essential arrogance and foreignness of liberalism."

His book is good too.

@27 I didn't say "difficult", I said "weird".

Stop being so sensitive- stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.

Steve @ 28,

Because Gawd wants us to use all that Jesus Juice; it's why he put it in the ground in the first place.

That quote was, I believe, made by some union dipshit back east. I am a union member myself, and I support labor wholeheartedly, but that sort of stupid unionspeak is a tired throwback to the 30's that sounds like something out of a grade-Z Frank Capra ripoff.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that many union tradespeople make a very good living - enough to buy all the Birkenstocks and Lattes they want - and many of them do.

The only car I've ever driven on a road (I have driven a Volvo and a Honda in a parking lot) was a Prius--with a regular key ignition, by the way. And though I've never worn Birkenstocks, my little brother was once told to wear them for medical reasons. I was always a shoe-in.

This is like my sis who used to bum cigs off my other sister and brother, but said she didn't smoke cause she never "bought" them.

And mocha cappachinos count as lattes in the grand scheme of things ...

I've had a (more than one actually) latte, and driven a Prius (but it was a rental so does it really count? Or is it half a credit or something?) But never the other 2.

This is what the OP refers to, for those who missed it, or who just want to relive the beautiful moment of hope and Democratic unity.

You must kick ass at Never Have I Ever. Everyone would be drinking with the latte statement!

Myself, yes to 1 & 2, no to 3 & 4. And a Hillary supporter.
Love my Prius, I fill the tank only once a month. And it puts out only 10% of the emissions of an average car. AND it's easy to drive.

Take a spin out in one of the exurban counties and you will quickly realize that latte-drinking is about as urban-liberal a pastime as driving a truck with a gun rack in it.
