Sorry to pick on you. It’s a trend in CS that annoys me.
I forgot to say Patricia Cornwell, too. As a liberal, Scarpetta complaining that it’d be so much easier to catch the bad guys if everyone had their DNA on a central database annoys me, but her novels are often my potboilers of choice.
I’m a liberal, but occasionally I like listening to the country music station. I tend to prefer the old-time drinkin’-and-cheatin’ songs to the more glurgey material that’s popular nowadays. I do like some modern country, though, like Brad Paisley’s “'Alcohol” and Blake Shelton’s “Ol’ Red.”
Amen. It was more entertaining before it went big-time in the 1980s and celebrities got involved with it. As John Waters put it, “Pro wrestling: the one good sport, which has now been ruined by Cindy Lauper”.
All I can think of is liking the Hitchhiker trilogy–including the first book, which goes out of its way to be atheistic. And that’s only because I was surprised that it didn’t at all hamper my enjoyment.
Anti-religion perhaps. I recall God existing until “proven” out of existence. And there’s his Last Message in later books as well as a whole bunch of Norse gods…
Mancow Muller, a morning zoo shock jock based out of Chicago. He’s basically the right wing Howard Stern - celebrity interviews, strippers and dick jokes, mixed in with a lot of talk about issues near and dear to conservatives’ hearts like gun rights, small government, abortion, the perils of overtaxation etc., with an occasional profession of faith (in spite of the aforementioned dick jokes and strippers).
I actually haven’t listened to him in a long time, but back in the '90s he seemed to be fixated on black helicopters, Clinton running a shadow government and the UN trying to set up a new world order. I can only imagine what the show is like these days.
When he wasn’t pontificating, though, he could be quite entertaining, and he did some great skits and prank phone calls. He even had a confrontation with Stern once live on the radio.
But the “proof” of his non-existence isn’t worth a pair of fetid dingo’s kidneys.
That’s interesting, I was going to say I am conservative, but I love Dexter.
My wife’s parents are very conservative, and no way would I recommend them to watch Dexter with all the f-bombs, violence, and sex! I’d be embarrassed to watch it with them. I never really thought about it from the left’s perspective about the death penalty. Yet my wife and I are addicts.
I also enjoy Breaking Bad, even though I disagree with the protagonist there, yet, I find myself rooting for him the whole time.
Musically I feel like everything I listen to is liberal. System of a Down for example.
I’m a libertarian who absolutely loathes liberal economics and government intervention, but <i>The West Wing</i> is one of my all time favorite TV shows, at least up until Sorkin left.
