This bit of news was rather sudden tonight and I had no idea Molly was sick. She will be missed not only by Liberals and Texans but political humorists in the same vein as Jim Hightower or Will Durst. I only became more aware of her after my return to Austin in 1998. My favorite quote of hers was about the Texas legislature, “also known as the laboratory for bad ideas.”

I started advidly reading Molly Ivins in the Houston Chronicle back when I was teenager. I even quoted her in an essay for school about gender issues in Texas’s penal code (the obscene device law). Her quote: “owning six or more ‘phallic sex toys’ makes you a felon, but you can own up to five such devices and simply be a hobbyist.” is still one of my favorites. She’ll be missed.
