Messy Bedrooms

OK, what I've got are laundry baskets, irons and sewing materials PLUS travel memorabilia PLUS two television sets (one that works, one that doesn't, but neither hooked up), some weird-ass suitcases, PLUS a stack of magazines, cloth flowers, a filing cabinet PLUS posters of Madonna, Bugsy Siegel, and oddball paintings.

Guess that makes me middle-of-the road!
According to a controversial new study, set to be published in The Journal of Political Psychology, the bedrooms and offices of liberals, who are generally thought of as open, tend to be colorful and awash in books about travel, ethnicity, feminism and music, along with music CDs covering folk, classic and modern rock, as well as art supplies, movie tickets and travel memorabilia.

Conservatives, on the other hand, tend to surround themselves with calendars, postage stamps, laundry baskets, irons and sewing materials in their personal spaces, according to the study. Their bedrooms and offices are well-lighted and decorated with sports paraphernalia and flags—especially American ones.
