Oh, Molly!
It is rare that a woman in our time will take the opportunity to be who she is without apology. Molly Ivins had such virtue. Strong willed with an amazingly sharp tongue and a wit second to none.
“It's hard to argue against cynics - they always sound smarter than optimists because they have so much evidence on their side."
Molly was an inspiration for many of us that love Texas but find the people stuck in a conservative time warp.
“I dearly love the state of Texas, but I consider that a harmless perversion on my part, and discuss it only with consenting adults."
“In Texas, we do not hold high expectations for the [governor's] office; it's mostly been occupied by crooks, dorks and the comatose."
“Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention."
Here's hoping that we all find time to question authority from time to time and to do so with as much biting wit.
“Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful."
