Hi guys,
I am the author of the post. Thanks for the praise. I thought the whole thing up during my walk to work yesterday and typed it up when I got to the office.
In any case I have actually received a number of offers and the libs who have responded have been pretty good natured, a couple even going so far as to admit how uncanny my description of them was. You can see some of the responses here:

Welcome to FR! :-)
I requested inauguration tickets back in the spring, and booked a motel for $99.00 a night in February. I have heard from my Congressman’s office and am waiting to find out if I can get any tickets. Lord I hope so.
I,and my two long-haired hippie teenagers plus a Muslim exchange student that I will be traveling with, will need probably more room than you have, but just in case you could make the accommodation, I would be happy to pay $650 per night and would would not require removal of any patriotic decor. As long as you aren't too far from the leftist celebrations.
By the way, I applaud your ingenious attempt to exploit the new-found spirit of bipartisanship in the country. The free-market lives!!
Welcome to FReeRepublic!!
Welcome to FR. Stick around, this place needs more people with a sense of humor.
Brilliant!
Hope it’ll be a ‘grand’ inaugural- at least- for you!
Welcome to FR and thanks for the entertainment. Between the election and the utter economic meltdown, there hasn’t been much for conservatives to smile about.
Btw, remember - greed is good - especially in this instance! Keep that profit maximization going.
How long before you’re accused of gouging?
How long before your house is seized for eminent domain?
Welcome aboard!
Welcome to FR, buddy! Stick around, we’re going to need as many laughs in the next four years as possible.
Welcome to the best, no nonsense Forum on the net.
Cheers,

You Rock!
Colin, that was great! Welcome to FR.
Now, WE know how to throw an inaugural party...
Welcome to FR! That was great!
“My marginal costs for a guest to sleep in my bed are damn near zero..”
Eeeewwww! Hippies in your bed. What’s it gonna cost for pest control to sanitize your place when they’re gone?
I like how one writer said you should write satire. Umm... didn’t he/she understand that you actually DO write satire?
Well done!
That is great! Totally hilarious! So who are you going to let stay?
"You should write satire...
I do wonder how this bidding profit-maximizing plan is working out for you. Most of left-wingers want to know what something costs, as opposed to putting a price on it ourselves.
Anyway - wants aside, I do understand the forum...
Call me cheap, but, with no glossy advertisements provided, I will bid $150/night (tax inclusive, as I'm sure you'll give the city their TOT due) for 3 nights (1/18 in; 1/21 out).
Cheers!
Bryon"
Please note how cheap this leftist is.
Colin, welcome to FR and thank you for this!
