With this I mourn Molly Ivins.
The world has few enough smart people, and far too few of them come from Texas.
When my brain finally started growing in, her words helped me come to terms with politics.
Why her? Why Ann Richards? Why the good and not the evil?
Howl at the moon. Mourn the sharp-witted and brilliant.
In an age when and country where the President sounds like "Mater" from Pixar's "Cars" and the smart men he "defeated" sound like college professors, we needed brave voices like Molly's. Who will stand up and be the next H. L. Mencken heir?
