I had a chance to meet her before she died at some Houston Chronicle thing (possibly a book signing?) and she was one of the most gracious, pleasant and kind people I have ever met, for the 2-3 mins that we spoke. We talked about the disaster that Bush was as governor, how bad a President he would be and why Texas should have elected Kinky Friedman, lol.

I miss Molly and the days back when Texas was a sane state.

Have a great day!

He isn't fucking with Medicare; that is for olds, who are mostly angry and white so we don't hurt them. He is fucking the poor schmucks who have to actually buy insurance, which is for Young's, who are often brown and the Wrong Kind of Angry. Congressmen should only be allowed to buy the healthcare plan available in their states shittiest county.

Thanks for the 'splainer, but this is enough to make anybody's head spin. You know what's waaaayyy less complicated? Single payer health insurance.
