Line 36:
Socially, he always seems cheerful and positive, shaking hands and being personable to everyone he meets. He's been extremely friendly to [[Jake Morgendorffer]] both times they've met ("[[Gifted]]", "[[Of Human Bonding]]"), even though the end of "Gifted" made it clear the Landons thought the Morgendorffers were bizarre people. In "Bonding" he made a backhanded comment about the size of Jake's business compared his own, stating the pickings were too small for ''him'' but Jake should be able to get something; he seems to have intended this as encouragment.
Politically, "Gifted" and "[[Is It College Yet?]]" show him to be quite right-wing. He's virulently against welfare (he claims "welfare cheats" force companies to use foreign child labour) and is using "creative accounting" on his tax returns to avoid subsidising it. He may have some ties to [[Congressman Sachs]], since Jodie got an internship at his office (although the show does not state the political affiliation of the Congressman). He's aware of (and contemptuous of) the bigotry at Wizard Computers but points to the [[Wizard Foundation]] scholarship as evidence that some of its employeees want to change that, and believed that this faction could win out if girls like Jodie and Daria would sign up.
Jodie has remarked that he "thinks he's Martin Luther King" when he's trying to give a pep talk, and can say some very silly things in the attempt.
