Entertaining, But Out of Date
This was an entertaining book, but is now out of date. It covers up to the begining of 2003. Her manner of writing is funny, but to the point. If you are a Bush fan this is not a book for you.
Oh How I Miss Molly!
Molly Ivins had a way with words and she had many for George W. Bush. Since she lived in Texas and saw first hand what GWB was capable of, she knew what we as a nation faced. Her humor added just the right touch to keep me chuckling as I read. I wished that I still had this book, but I loaned it to others and have not seen it since then.
Great read!
Dear Molly
Yours was the first book that turned me into an politicalaholic. The story you wrote of people who could make a change, lived simply but made a difference, had a real effect on me.
I was also unaware, until you came along, how this administration has relaxed food inspection standards to the point the production lines may not be stopped unless an inspector sees contaminants. It's stupefying that people are dying daily because food inspectors are not supposed to stand in the way of big business. This was just one chapter in a myriad of things you brought to light.
Thanks to Bush, Houston now has a higher level of air pollution than Los Angeles. There is not a clean river in the entire state. And there is an alarming rise in respiratory illnesses. The man also claimed, that as governor Texas had the most comprehensive health coverage in the country. The bill was only passed over his second veto, and was left unsigned on his desk. You let us know all these things.
Your writing style made each page an effortless wonder of new information served up in an impressive and humorous way.
It's good that there were people like you who walked the earth. We are the better for it, and that is why we will miss you.
I don't have a stetson, only my Yankee cap to tip, but my hat's off to you!
Happy Trails, gracious lady!
