Columnist Molly Ivins has died at age 62, reportedly of breast cancer. There is a nice appreciation here, by some folks who have known her for a long time.
Molly was a personal hero, a writing hero and a political hero of mine and I am so sad right at this moment. Let’s kick cancer in the ass and donate to our favorite cancer-fighting charities in memory of her ass-kicking (and Bush-kicking) way.

That Gal was fabulous! I am really going to miss her not being around to take a few verbal hammer blows to the X-Gov. of Massachusetts.
Brillant woman.
Peace
She was yet another of those grand Texas women with insight and humor. We could use some of them here.

Of course, she was a buddy and admirer of two contemporaries who should have been President — Ann Richards and Shirley Chisholm. All three of them were from the same brilliant, non-nonsense, yet full of social graces mold.

In their absence, you can get some of the same pizzazz from from Kiss My Big Blue Butt. It used to be the site-she-refuses-to-call-a-blog named Juanita’s, The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon. Susan is another of those Texas firecrackers who doesn’t tolerate even her locals’ foolishness.
