Molly Ivins, greatest political columnist in the history of everything, has passed away. It was reading her columns as a child (found by looking at that one more cartoon after the funny pages), that turned me into the political junkie I am today. I credit her with much of the fire in my belly, and my tendency to express it via guest columns for the Port Arthur News. She's been a huge influence on my writing style, as well, even if I'm just a pale imitation.
And I think that's what got me off my gluteus maximus, figuratively, at least, to start this blog, instead of just talking about it. Miss Molly's gone, and it's up to the rest of us to do the best we can.
