The Great Molly Ivins Is Dead

Molly Ivins, my favorite columnist, is dead at 62 from breast cancer. In one of her last columns she wrote: "We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, 'Stop it, now!'" It's a real call to arms and I hope we all heed it. She was funny as hell and smart and brave. Damn, but I'm going to miss her.
