Dolly Parton has apologized to a lesbian couple kept from Dollywood over a "Marriage is So Gay" t-shirt, but the couple says park officials canceled a meeting with them to work it out. We'll talk to the couple again. Also, I'll replay my interview with Ron Reagan Jr. about his father on a day when lots of people were invoking President Reagan over the debt ceiling issue.
