Molly Ivins

We lost a great one last night. Molly Ivins helped shape the way I think not only about politics but about the world. She inspired me through some very tough times. There is something special about someone who regularly makes you laugh at the horrors of the world while you cry thinking of the ensuing battle to right those wrongs. If there is a definition of "keep on fighting the good fight," it is Molly Ivins.

The best way to honor her and to continue striving for the values she so eloquently elaborated upon, year after year, is to follow some of her most recent advice:

"Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous."

Thank you, Molly.
