I don‘t know how this would hold up for the average Millennial, but for this baby boomer it was a nostalgic treat. I miss her sharp observations and wit that is razor sharp but never mean-spirited. We lost her too soon and journalism is a poorer place for it. RIP Molly.

DrexEdit Molly Ivins was one of the good ones. She literally got me through my years of living in Texas. I miss her too! 5y

Change a few names and this column, written in 1987, would work today. š™„

Chrissyreadit It amazes me that there is no division of understanding of politics as a power play and politics as a civic duty and that people are not furious or recognizing that civic duty and civic responsibility are the only meaning it should have- and if that is not the goal those people must go. Also that by not discussing politics we are not engaging in decisions that effect our lives. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa š‚yep! 5y

theresidentromantic I don't even think that you need to change names. Reagan is ever present right now, like some kind of ideal American standard. He's the reason we have under God in the pledge of allegiance. He is omnipresent in the effect he's had on these blurred church and state lines we have and I think this makes a good point. 5y

Lcsmcat @theresidentromantic Actually Dwight D. Eisenhower is the president responsible for adding that phrase in 1954. But I agree that the ghost of Reagan is leading certain politicians, particularly in the blurring of the church / state line. (edited) 5y

GingerAntics Wow. Yes it could. Sheesh. 5y

theresidentromantic @Lcsmcat Thank you! I always thought it was Reagan, I should read a little more non fiction! 5y

Lcsmcat @GingerAntics It actually gives me hope in a weird way to be reminded of how apocalyptic we thought Nixon and Reagan we‘re back in the day, and yet we‘re still ultimately moving in the right direction. 5y

GingerAntics Fingers crossed we make it out of this particular presidency (and it doesn‘t become a kingship). 5y

I loved Ivins‘ column when it was syndicated in the 80‘s, but I wasn‘t sure if the humor would hold up. It does. I‘m enjoying this nostalgically. You don‘t have to be from Texas, but a bit of knowledge about the Reagan Bush 1 years is helpful. #currentread

Leftcoastzen She was marvelous.Miss her so much. 5y

Lcsmcat @Leftcoastzen Me too. I‘d love to read what she would have come up with on our current political situation. 5y

Theaelizabet I used to laugh out loud when I read her books. There‘s a documentary being made of her life. Boy, she left such a void. 5y
