Stuff and junk!
The guy who invented political correctness, and kick him squarely in his daddy parts.
Rush, Paul Rodgers, Randy Newman, Robert Plant, Eric Johnson, Primus, Johnny Cash, and on and on. I really like any style of music as long as it's good (not big on the rap and the "crossover" stuff that masquerades as a lot of country these days, though)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Army of Darkness, and...oh, hell, I like ninety gazillion movies, and I can't possibly list 'em all. I tend to prefer stuff that shows the better side of human nature, though; I am NOT dark, gritty, cynical, or angsty (let's leave that for the Brit comic writers... ;)).
Heroes, House, Prison Break, Friday Night Lights, America's Funniest Videos, The Office, etc.
My secret shame: illiteracy!
Anyone with common sense who values the truth more than following the crowd.
