Molly Ivins was one of the world's most gifted bar stool philosophers, someone who effortlessly segued into the world of ideas from the sure-footed ground of details.

Terry,

Exceptional piece - Molly would be proud. You’ve done a great job of capturing the flavor of her writing.  And how sad it is that there is no one waiting in the wings to fill her shoes (no doubt, hiking boots).
