Lockstep Diversity

Courtesy of the Opinion Journal’s “Best of the Web:”


“WE WELCOME DIVERSITY” proclaims the Web site of Ocean Haven, an Oregon inn. “Respecting the interdependence & diversity of all life.”

Well, maybe not all life. The homepage offers some qualifications:

FOR REASONS OF HEALTH & SAFETY OCEAN HAVEN CANNOT ACCOMMODATE SMOKERS, PETS, FOLKS TRAVELING IN A HUMMER, OR FOLKS WHO VOTED FOR BUSH & HIS NATURE DESTRUCTIVE POLICIES
Wow, this place sounds almost as diverse as a college campus!

[Update: The web page now has the language about not being willing to accomodate Bush voters removed. Fox News “Special Report” contacted Ocean Haven, and they reported that Democrats were appalled at that language, but that Republicans loved it.]
