My Tilt: My Reply
I didn’t get the response I was hoping for when I asked for you folks to tell me your perceptions of me, but at least a few of you replied. One or two were even semi-serious. Oh well, I said I would reveal the answers to some of the items, so here goes:
- How old am I? I may sound like a cranky retiree sometimes, but I’m only 27.
- What is my approximate income? I ain’t rich and I ain’t poor.
- Approximately where in Lincoln do I live? 48th and Highway 2 is a close enough approximation.
- What is my religion? I was raised Methodist, but I don’t think I can claim that title today. My core beliefs are two-fold: (1) There is a God and (2) I’m not Him.
- Which political party is listed on my voter registration card? Republican.
- On economic issues, do I lean left or right? Right.
- On social issues, do I lean left or right? Left.
- What is my opinion of the death penalty? The government screws up too often to be trusted with the power to kill its citizens.
- What is my opinion of abortion? Morally opposed, legally undecided.
- What is my opinion of immigration? Let ‘em all in through a few controlled access points, and secure the rest of the border to keep out the riffraff.
- What is my opinion of banning concealed weapons in Lincoln? It’ll stop roughly five gung-ho NRA types, and that’s about it.
- Dave Heineman, Pete Ricketts, and Ernie Chambers are in separate carnival-style dunking booths. I have only one baseball to throw. Who do I dunk, and why? This one’s easy: Pete Ricketts. He exudes insincerity, and that bugs the heck out of me.
- I have to leave the country for 10 years, but before I go I can eat at one Lincoln restaurant. Which restaurant do I choose, and why? I really have no idea. Possibly Lazlo’s, for sentimental reasons.
- Describe me in five words or less. This one was for you folks, not for me.
- Dogs or cats? Dogs by a mile.

“Describe me in five words or less.”
Extremely intelligent, damn good looking.
