Besides being a true shero of mine, this was one funnnnny woman! She wrote the hilarious best-selling book, Molly Ivins Can’t Say That Can She?, which I strongly reccommend in the audio version, as her delivery is half of the fun! One of her quotes is that Texas politics is "better than the zoo, better than the circus, rougher than football, and even more aesthetically satisfying than baseball."

Molly lost her battle with breast cancer two years ago January and is sorely missed by all of us.

A bio and caricature of her is at Famous Texans
Another good one is Creators
And the Texas Observer
