Molly Ivins

[Matilda]

The Texas Observer Obituary, with link to its website, which will be devoted to celebrating Molly
Invins' life and work for a time:

"Molly was a hero. She was a mentor. She was a liberal. She was a patriot. She was a friend. And she always will be. With Molly's death we have lost someone we hold dear. What she has left behind we will hold dearer still."

I knew her only through finding her writings on the Internet, as she's unknown in Australia, but I
really enjoyed her witty and incisive style, and I feel very sad at her passing.

1. Here's a photo of Molly from 2005

Molly's posing with my wife, ginbarn, at DemocracyFest 2005 in Austin, Texas.

We will sincerely miss her.

2. It must have been great to meet her or just her speak.

I've read so much about how inspiring she was.

What I particularly liked was that although she was very incisive and could paint a devastating
picture of someone she didn't care for, it was always done with great humour and an absence of
real nastiness. She had a sense of proportion.
