What are some country songs about war and stuff?
Like, dude, there are totally a bunch of them, man. — Jim
What happened to Sammy Kershaw?

Not such a big fan of the Katherine Walker jokes, to be completely honest. She’s obviously not well; it seems like a cheap shot to single her out for mocking. Nothing against anyone, just my opinion of those specific jokes.
This is always fun, though. The responses to the “woman who is sick with cancer” question are amazing.

I think the disturbed are fair game for satire myself.
Better edition than usual this time too.

Taylor Swift uttering or texting “WTF” is about as likely as Rahm Emanuel NOT using the “F word” in a sentence containing three or more words! Just ain’t gonna happen…
“Best Answers” Award goes to “Did Taylor Swift steal Love Story?”. I’m suspect about the “Library Card To Burn” comment as most of Taylor’s fans likely don’t know what a library card is.
Jim Malec said: “What hurts the most on The 9513? –

Well damn, does that mean we’re not allowed to pick on Chesney, Dan?

This is a hilarious mail bag! xD
My favorite is the Miranda Lambert lyrics one =) Karlie’s response is absolute gold lol

I’m not a fan of the Katherine (Kate) Walker “jokes” either. I’ve met her through a couple of Gary concerts, didn’t know just how bad off she was…only that she clearly had/has an alcohol problem. She knows she has a problem too, so at least there’s that to her credit.
Haven’t talked to her in a couple years or so but even then a few select group of women kept saying un-called for mean things about her, and probably still do. She has a very scary family background too (I don’t mean mental illness, I mean she’s been through a lot). I’m sure that didn’t help not push her over the edge. However disturbed, she has a very good heart and I hope she’s not reading this.
p.s. She obviously KNOWS where he lives, BTW. So that’s not even so creative. ;)

I’m particularly amused by Karlie’s and Juli’s answers this time around.

C’mon Rick, give some credit to the teenyboppers of the world…it’s like Netflix, but for books, right? Unfortunately, the following Fail blog message makes no reference to musical tastes, so you’ll have to find a different source to confirm your hypothesis ;-)

Chesney is fair game, but no McGraw. :p
That is a very troubling link, Juli.
