Red Hot Patriot.....


Karen MacDonald as Molly Ivins in "Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins."


One of the beauties of newspapers — as the nation that has allowed too many of them to die may one day realize — is that they provide a home and a pulpit for every manner of quirky truth-teller.

Molly Ivins was one. The pugnacious Texas columnist specialized in a kind of dead-serious humor designed to afflict the comfortable within an inch of their lives.

Ivins was one of journalism’s happy warriors, a quality adeptly captured by Karen MacDonald, who delivers a winningly assured performance in Lyric Stage Company’s generally satisfying production of “Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins,’’ directed by Courtney O’Connor.

I'm in Myrtle Beach for the month of Jan. Kinda wish I was back home because I'd go see this play.
