This is a Parody, I Presume

The Seattle P-I has an editorial in which it laments that Seattle is not ranked higher on a list of most liberal cities ("Cleveland . . . whupped us") and argues that the city is not liberal enough ("Seattle is an essentially prudish and, at times, provincial town"). I can only presume that the Seattle P-I in engaging in a bit of parody. If not, exactly how freakishly liberal does this town have to get to satisfy that editorial board?
