He named a TV show but didn’t name any music he actually listens too. The answer “country” is about as satisfying as saying “I watch dramas.” or “I like channels 700-725.” in response to the TV question.

I think that’s a feature, not a bug, in his answer

What’s the difference between 9/11 and a cow?
You don’t milk a cow for 14 years.
(I should note I didn’t create that image or joke, but I don’t know who to attribute them to)
Maybe the image source?
EDIT: NOPE, found the source of the image here:
Maybe the joke source?

Brilliant observations. True, sad and funny at the same time.

On behalf of liberals everywhere I would like to thank Ted Cruz for announcing his interest in the White House.
This batch of GOP primaries and debates should prove to be even more unhinged than the last two.

Well, there’s “country” and then there’s country.
If Cruz is listening to Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Cari Lee Merritt, Junior Brown, Wayne Hancock, there’s real hope for the man regardless of his politics.
If he’s listening to Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, then all my worst fears are realized.
You know the old saying about the one species that would survive a nuclear war, don’t you?

The problem being that conservatives keep bringing these lunatics to the fore despite the crazy shit they say and do. How many times do we need to hear that a woman’s vagina will just “shut down” a rape, or that it’s okay to shut down the entire government to make a political point, or that Obama action is a power-grab by our (not legal) Muslim Kenyan president?
IIRC, Melissa Harris-Perry had a republican on the first episode of her MSNBC show, and she told him, point-blank, that the US needed a coherent and reality-based Republican party to properly act as a foil against the left, and he essentially responded by saying they’re doing just fine as is. The political rhetoric from the right today strikes me as nothing more than simple pandering without the first thought toward the ramifications of that same rhetoric.

FTFY. “Reasonable” conservatives are no longer conservative enough. The GOP could never float a candidate like Reagan anymore, because he might raise taxes or pardon convicted criminals or try to negotiate with hostile nations.

Considering Paul Weller’s reaction to finding out that Eton Rifles was one of David Cameron’s favourite songs, I’d say he’s being careful.
Which part of it didn’t he get? It wasn’t intended as a jolly drinking song for the cadet corps.

Paul "We’ll all be voting Conservative at the next election” Weller?
I really think this is the long-term fallout from Rush Limbaugh’s rise to power in the late 80’s-- he dictated this hardcore ideological purity and partisanship that bent over backwards to find fault with Democrats, and apologized or ignored anything wrong the GOP did. The business model proved so reliable that Fox News ran with it. In the same way that Limbaugh would make up “facts” to prove his points (“there are more trees in North America now than when the Pilgrims arrived”) Fox does the same (“Muslim no-go zones in Paris”), and so now conservatives have essentially become slaves to their own fantasy-vision of the world, and older, pragmatic reality-based Republicans are caught in a bind.

Eh, I’m banking on him being a teetotaler (or claiming to be one).
I’ll let him have his one mistake. I mean, how many people though Nick Clegg was telling the truth at the last election?

To be fair, he claims he was just trying to piss The Clash off.
That’s an ouch.

I’ve copied it both from across the Internet (I just changed the years in the joke). I wish I knew who to attribute the image and the joke to. edit: figured out one of them (the onion) and edited my original post.
