Molly Ivins, 1944-2007. She will be sorely missed.

From what I think was her last column, a call to action:We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Make our troops know we're for them and trying to get them out

OMG! I didn't know! Oh I'm sad now.

I know. I had a bad feeling when I read she'd been admitted to the hospital last week, and today I saw an update that looked pretty grim, but... I was hoping.

Oh no! I saw a post about her being extra ill this morning, but I hadn't heard that she'd passed. Dammit. We need her and lots of people like her. She was so awesome, always.

What you said. I'm just... so sad.

Oh nooooo!

That was pretty much my reaction, too.

I guess we'll just have to step up and do our best to kick some ass ourselves.

I'm really gonna miss her! :(
