Austin cries: Molly Ivins passes away

One of Austin's most famous torch bearers passed away. I remember reading her column for the first time in the Arizona Republic thinking, wow! Finally someone who's got a handle on what is going on in this country! Well, I am not going to try to speak in lofty terms, there will be plenty of eloquent speakers and writers who will do so in the next little while. I just hope that if she will have a burial service, that it will be a public one, so I can pay my respect.

Here is to a Texan we'd all need and like to remember!
