Some great women have Texas roots.  Barbara Jordan.  Ann Richards.  Sadly, neither of these great politicians are with us today.  Now, another one of my favorite Texans has been lost to us.  I was so saddened to see in the obits this morning that Molly Ivins has died from breast cancer.  A few quotes to remember her by:

"Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful."

"The first rule of holes:  when you're in one, stop digging."
