Ha! I just discovered Molly Ivins' full name was "Mary Tyler Ivins".

Mary Tyler "Molly" Ivins (August 30, 1944 – January 31, 2007) was an American newspaper columnist, political commentator, and best-selling author from Austin, Texas.

You have probably already guessed where I'm going with this: What if she'd hooked up with a fellow progressive, like, oh, I don't know, Michael Moore?



Then again, Molly didn't strike me as the sort of woman who would take a married name, anyway... :-)
