Surly's Soap Box

Return from the Heartland
I have returned from Nebraska, the place where college football is worshiped, corn is king, "Republican" means "Democrat", and "Democrat" means "Commie".

Sweeter Half comes from the land were the letter "N" on the University Campus stands for "(k)nowledge". In fact, you see Red flags (commies?) with the white "N" everywhere. For a couple years I though it was the state flag until I drove by the capital with the in-laws and asked,
"What's that flag?"

A trip to Nebraska means checking your diet at the door. Diabetic? Bring extra insulin. Hypertension? Pass the salt and avoid political and religious discussion.

Over all, it was a good trip. More later.

Try western Nebraska if you want saner political dialogue. I used to make a lot of stops out there when I lived in Colorado, and it's definitely not Omaha or Lincoln.

The only important politics in Lincoln involves the Nebraska Cornhusker football team. And no, there really isn't anything more important.

There is no place like Nebraska...
