62 years of raising hell Today is Molly Ivins's birthday, and when we finally make this a more just world, it will become a national holiday. As it is, we'll keep celebrating it right here at Wonkette and do what we can to keep alive the spirit of Texas's greatest contribution to American humor and political commentary. She'd have been 72 today, and while we don't believe in an afterlife, we sure understand the impulse, because it's such a goddamned shame that Molly has to miss this election year. If someday we wake up in an Elysian field where she and Ann Richards are drinking and cutting loose with profane observations on doings back on Earth, we'll be very happy to have been wrong.
Texans wisely keep voting to make him leave the state and not come back for two years. If there were some way to make him a Minister of the European Parliament, so he'd leave the whole continent, they'd have found it by now.
San Antonio is like going to Mexico without crossing the border and you can drink the water. Texas has it's issues and it's share of jerks but Texas is okay. Try Austin and the Hill Country.
Molly was and is my hero. And - indirectly she led me to this fine place where they keep her tradition alive. You see, she had a column once where she praised Josh Marshall, among other online pioneers at the time - so on her recommendation, I followed the links and eventually found many great online communities, including this one.
Thanks Molly! And Thanks, Wonkette, for the reminders.
These days, they all work as professional comedians. I don't know if that says something about the state of political commentary or the state of politics.
She is awesome!

Not just no, but FUCK NO!!! I like my state icons to be, what's the word? Oh yeah, coherent. Funny AND coherent.
But Louie ain't never boring! The Sarah Palin of Texas... only if he would quit halfway through whatever he starts.

Public Ort? How about the $600,000 statue of dog poop in the city of San Jose, CA?https://projectilepluralism...
On his farm. Tending his llamas.
He's not boring, true. He's also not sane or, see my earlier word, coherent. So no. Just, no. God no.
Every time I pass this statue, I want to get a photo of a dog (or a human in a dog suit) squatting over it.
I think they're making too big a deal of this. Benghazi was more of a hobby than work for Hillary.
Drove from Oklahoma to New Mexico across the top. I know what Molly means by ugly.

Lord, yes. West Texas looks like Global Warming came and went 1000 years ago, and that is what it left behind.
