The Dolly Parton haters who can't get over the fact she was pro-covid vaccine are being such bitter, sad, people. I'm not even talking about their views on the science. I don't have the energy to argue about.
Let's assume anti-vax people are right about the science (they're not). Do you people honestly believe that Dolly frickn' Parton knew "the truth" and pushed it anyway? Do you think she was in on the evil conspiracy you people imagine?

I get thinking that the vaccine was bad, or wrong, or even sinister. But when your commitment to the bit leads you not only to hate Dolly Parton, not just to mock and belittle her when she dies, but to assume that she must have been knowingly in on the evil scheme you fantasize about, you've really lost your last few marbles.

It's like greeting the news of Betty White's death by talking about her being the architect of the Armenian genocide or something.

And no I am not going to repost or screen grab their nonsense.

@RoryStewartUK, A quick correction to something you've said a few times when discussing healthcare in the U.S. You've mention Medicare as the issue that is at the heart of the current government funding impasse. Actually it's the subsidies for Obamacare. Thanks.

@PaulMayne6 I had a Topps card of his that I kept alongside my Tiger ones on my bedroom closet door. Great picture!

@marillion073 There are some really good songs on it. Underrated, to me at least.

Talking Heads (Washington, DC)
Peter Gabriel (San Jose)
Elton John (Pine Knob)

@kathleenparker, an absolutely beautiful column today about your late brother. I sometimes disagree with you so strongly about politics, but you sure did pull the heart strings with that one. My condolences and may he rest in peace.

@farhip @VanityFair “If he wants to convince Congress to, say, buy Greenland, usurp Canada, or declare war on Panama, he’ll need to keep selling his initiatives through the mainstream media.” Perfectly put! Great reporting. The Post was nuts to lose you. 👍

@joserael The nice thing about getting older is that I'm not as ashamed about my embarrassments as I would have been when I was younger. 😉
