I am surprised at how sad I am to learn that Dolly Parton is dead. I was a fan. She was a paradox: so genuine despite all the trappings of fakery. She wrote some beautiful songs, "Down from Dover" being the best. Her variety show in the late 80s was also great.

Oh man. Genuinely sad about this.

RIP Dolly.

Greg Johnson introduces the idea of a "D-Vote Pass":

In America today, the ultimate taboo is uttering the so-called “N-word.” But you can get around that with an “N-Word Pass,” although only a genuine N can issue it. Basically, the pass takes the form, “Go ahead, bro. I won’t be offended.”

On the American Right, however, the ultimate taboo is voting for the Democrats. We need to destroy that taboo. Thus, as an American Rightist, I am issuing “D-Vote Passes” for the upcoming midterms. Go ahead. I won’t be offended
