Mike Nelson on Twitter is very funny. Saw him at Comicon last year w live Plan 9. He must have a Dorian Gray painting in the attic because he looks great - handsomer now than in MST days!
Little known fact about Mike Nelson: she’s a very conservative Republican.
For years I had a sense that he was one of us, but not based on anything specific. Just a feeling I had. I knew he married his fellow writer on MST3K, Bridget Jones. Years after the show, I read that Bridget Jones Nelson speaks at Christian conferences and events regarding marriage.
More evidence that he was conservative, though admittedly circumstantial. And plenty of liberals are married to conservatives, after all.
Turns out, I was right all along. Mike loves Mark Steym, reads National Review cover to cover, digs Ann Coulter, etc. He and Mrs. Nelson are part of the conservative nation (though he plays it pretty close to the vest).
