Molly Ivins Rest In Peace

Firebrand liberal columnist Molly Ivins died this evening after a long battle with breast cancer. Here is more from the Texas Star Telegram.

We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we’re for them and trying to get them out of there. From her last column dated 1/12/07
