    “I regret using Dolly as the example for the point I was making in the article,” she told Yahoo! Entertainment Saturday. “As I wrote in the piece, I love her and think she does some incredible things for the world. We all make poor choices in how to frame things sometimes. This was one of those moments for me! Dolly is one of the few people who is beloved by all and who loves all. The world is lucky to have her.”

    You don’t get to pretend that it was an error in framing your message. You meant what you said and the only thing you regret is the backlash. You picked on an angel and everyone else rightfully gave you shit for it.

      “I used Dolly Parton’s name to gain infamy. I am glad that it happened, as I have been offered a one hour weekly show on NewsMax.”

      I used to go there for school trips as a kid. It was always fun and not nearly as expensive as Disney was. Personally, I wouldn’t compare it to Disney as it’s just a completely different class of theme park and it was awesome in its own ways.

      I guess the major caveat is that I haven’t been there in over 20 years, but I seriously doubt the vibe has changed too much.

      I think it’s like retirement age, it just goes up the more time passes. By 2040 you’ll actually have to have died and been resurrected by a necromancer before you’re allowing the job.
