That’s been in our local news for the past week or so. As soon as I saw it, the first thing I thought was that if they don’t unban this, Dolly’s going to drag them through the mud. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that, ---

Having not heard it, I just went and hunted up a version with lyrics. Seems to me that Dolly’s already taking them on. Good for her (and for Miley. But I think Dolly Parton may have a different kind of power, here.) ---

It’s like a Turing test of sorts, only it tests for humanity. If the test subject affirms that Rainbow Connection should be vanquished, subject is not human.
