Whew, will we miss reading Molly. She loved this country and always urged us to take responsibility for its preservation. Here's a few of Molly's quotable quotes:
"I've always found it easier to be funny than to be serious."
"Real Texans do not use the word 'summer' as a verb."
"I dearly love the state of Texas, but I consider that a harmless perversion on my part, and discuss it only with consenting adults."
"The first rule of holes: when you're in one, stop digging."
"It's hard to argue against cynics--they always sound smarter than optimists because they have so much evidence on their side.”
"What you need is sustained outrage...there's far too much unthinking respect given to authority."
"Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous."
"The thing about democracy, beloveds, is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet. It requires a certain relish for confusion."
"Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful."
"I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth."
"You can't ignore politics, no matter how much you'd like to."
"Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention."
"I know vegetarians don't like to hear this, but God made an awful lot of land that's good for nothing but grazing."
"It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America."
