Molly Ivins - You did good

Columnist Molly Ivins died this week at 62 of breast cancer.

Dahlia Lithwick, herself a very good columnist on legal matters, writes a great remembrance of Ivins in her What I learned from Molly Ivins and therin relays a illustrative Ivins bon mot:

Ivins once described her job as "to provide regular instruction in the science of how to keep laughing, even though you've considered all the facts"

… which helps me put into perspective my last post on the anger I feel about Bush.

I'll miss having the opportunity to read Molly Ivins' work and I will endeavor to keep laughing.
