I thought it was a little too quiet this morning. That sucks out loud. After Ann Richards, you had to know she wouldn't be too far behind. Now there's absolutely NO POINT in Texas.

You know, I basically disagreed with nearly everything Molly Ivins had to say, but I LOVED the way she said it. She will always be a classic.

antiprincess said...

so sad.

she was quite something.

HurricaneCandice said...

Not that she can compare, but Maureen Dowd will do her best.

Kai said...

May she rest in peace, fiery sister from Texas.

Maureen Dowd is -nothing- like Ivins, is the thing.

mneh. sigh.

can we burn maureen dowd to death in a whicker vole?

Please?

belledame222 said...

In a what now?

Anthony Kennerson said...

Ahhhh...no.

MoDowd does have her moments, but she couldn't touch Miss Molly with a 100 foot pole when it comes to intestinal fortitude.

If you really want a real candidate for passing on her legacy, try Linda Ellerbee (or, if gender and location doesn't matter to you, Keith Olbermann), who is, like Miss Molly, a fire-breathing smart-ass progressive Texan and a true journalist, albeit in TV rather than print.

yeh, i love Olbermann, and no, it doesn't have to be gender specific i suppose. still not quite the same thing. well no one could be really, that's the point i suppose. sigh.

she just had a, i don't know, generosity of spirit, a genuine belief in the power of small-d-democracy. That you could make the system work; that it's just people, at the end of the day, and people are basically good. Correct or not, it is a worldview i find compelling (one i would -like- to believe in) and passing rare.

Ellerbee i don't know; i will go a huntin, then.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It gets down to choose a correct companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

To be a upright benign being is to procure a kind of openness to the far-out, an cleverness to group undeterminable things beyond your own control, that can govern you to be shattered in uncommonly extreme circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly important with the get of the righteous compulsion: that it is based on a conviction in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a jewel, something fairly dainty, but whose acutely precise handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.
