By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

Dolly didn't just say be who you are and you are enough -- and she sure did, a lot -- her whole deal was, "whatever you are, BE MORE OF THAT, BABY, GO FOR IT, I LOVE YOU." all we can do is try to pass on a little of that energy in this mean world.

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

Absolute banger of an obituary in the Seattle Times today, rest in peace Judy
Judith DOORIS
May 18, 1936 - Jun 13, 2026
Judy Chambers Dooris was born on either March or May 18 - nobody is certain - 1936, in California, and died June 13, 2026. This is already off to a rough start. Mom would never reveal her age to us kids, so she would certainly object to announcing her birth year in the news-paper. Apologies, mom. They made us do it.
Judy was the firstborn child of Mildred Devlin and EdwardIn her early 20s, Judy was a bridesmaid at Bill Dooris' cousin's wedding. He was smitten and courted her long-distance for many months. She would want us to write here that she had options. But lucky for us, she chose Bill and a life filled with his good humor, song, and laughter. She would often say to us "marry someone fun" because she did.
Judy and Bill lived in Bellevue, and Judy birthed 4 kids in just under 4.5 years. Obviously, she was Catholic. Judy was ferociously protective of her children against clear threats. Once on a family camping trip, a roaring drunk uncle stormed into our camping trailer intending to scare us kids, but mom met him at the threshold and hollered, "YOU GET OUT OF HERE!" He yelped and retreated, squeaking "sorry Judy." Against possible threats, she
