Aside from her many other accomplishments, Dolly Parton did more for the cause of literacy than anyone who ever lived, probably. That work will continue.
Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
