Molly Ivins, RIP
http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/syndicated-columnist-molly-ivins-dies-at/20070131191809990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001. The great columnist died of breast cancer at age 62. The best quote in the article is Ivins' statement that cancer can kill you, but it doesn't make you a better person. She might also have added that being in a position of power doesn't make you a better person, but if you ever read her columns you know that she was not afraid to expose the faults of those in power, particularly the former C-student and party boy she unaffectionately called "Shrub."

No fan I of Ms. Ivins politics, I openly admit that she had some great zingers. My personal fave -- and perhaps my favorite political zinger of all time -- was her statement after the 1992 (I think) patently offensive speech by good ol Pat Buchanan at the GOP convention.
Said Molly the next day, something along the lines "Pat's speech was even better in the original German."
