1944 - 2007"The United States of America is still run by its citizens.
The government works for us.
Rank imperialism and warmongering are not American traditions or values.
We do not need to dominate the world.
We want and need to work with other nations.
We want to find solutions other than killing people.
Not in our name, not with our money, not with our children's blood."
Words of hope from one hell of an American.

This news rather ruined my day. I will miss her greatly.
Her and Ann Richards are now having fun in heaven..its how I choose to make the best of this bad situation.
A tragic loss.
Her Body's gone Melissa, but her spirit will forever remain so long as we keep it alive!
I can honestly say that she was my favorite political columnist. I am greatly saddened to lose her, but greatly enriched to have found her.
Hi Melissa.
I just posted this up too as I'm sure a lot of the left blogging world will be later today.
We owe it to her to press on. HARDER.
I sent you an e-mail a couple of minutes ago.
She definitely didn't leave us empty handed. Her life was a gift to us.
anyone who speaks words that are that true, and says them that poetic is a true patriot.
i will miss her very much. but i will never ever forget her. :( i will carry her words and spirit with me infinity.
Much of her will never be lost.
"Words of hope from one hell of an American"...YES. Excellent tribute.
Her words are inspiring me so much this week.
One thing that always connects me to Molly.
NOT IN OUR NAME.

This was posted on our local Philadelphia Inquirer blog yesterday:
A correspondent from the other cubicle was moved to write a little something for this space to mark the death of Molly Ivins.
Carrie Rickey writes:
Ordinarily I’d say that we should declare a moment of silence for the passing of Molly Ivins, the Lone Star State political scribe who dubbed then-Governor George W. Bush "shrub" and opined of a dim congressman that, "if his I.Q. slips any lower we’ll have to water him twice a day."
Yet given Ivins’ silver-tongued wit, let’s just declare a moment of Molly-isms. She was even funny about the surgery, chemo and radiation therapies for the breast cancer that ended her life at 62. "First they mutilate you, then they poison you, then they burn you. I’ve been on blind dates better than that."
