You are so right about Dolly. She is the BEST.

This, of course, has nothing to do with Dolly Parton, Jake, Schmader, gay marriage, or 9 to 5.

Anyway, congratulations!

I'm even working every week in the No on Prop. 8 headquarters here. Making sure other people will be happy in a way that will be forever out of my reach. How perverse is that?

But, anyway, congratulations! And, yes, Dolly rocks!

Those dudes are in it to win it.

Congrats again, my dear. I wish I knew Dolly, so I could get her to serenade you both. Well, and to hear all her crazy stories from the holler.

I used to work room service at the Four Seasons Olympic years ago and she was THE nicest famous person I ever had the pleasure to serve. She'd say "just a little soup and half sandwich, I don't want to be any bother"
