		Ivins also proposes donating to left-wing media watchdog groups that conduct hatchet jobs on anyone in the press who strays from the liberal line.
		If Ivins' acquaintances are as liberal and as politically active as she is, then it would make more sense for her to give them presents with a leftist theme.
		What else that statement tells us is that Ivins considers herself to be not only a donor, but also a beneficiary, insofar as her ideology is concerned.

	Dave Shiflett on Molly Ivins & Canada on National Review Online
		Molly denounced Jonah as "some juvenile jerk attacking Canadians as a bunch of wimpy wimps." Ageism deployed in the cause of tolerance is no vice, it appears.
		That would mean, among other things, that Molly would spend the rest of her life dressing in a big fl bag and running her copy past a religious constable.
		Molly's denunciation of Brother Goldberg began with an interesting observation: "There is a batty degree of triumphalism loose in this country right now." Molly is clearly in the grips of a batty triumphalism, one the Reverends Falwell and Robertson might call pride, and for which in many cases there is no known cure.

	10.14.2004 - Molly Ivins said that?
		Besides constituting a healthier approach to life, having fun, said Ivins, “will keep you from becoming disgusted, cynical, bitter, and burned out.” The humorist anticipated that any agitators in the audience might be contemplating deferring her prescription.
		Ivins said she takes enouragement from the fact that “at least half of us have noticed this early” that the war in Iraq “is a disaster.” By contrast, she noted that it took many Americans 10 years to realize the Vietnam war was a mistake.
		Before Ivins’ lecture, the Mario Savio Young Activist Award was presented to Jason West, the mayor of New Paltz, N.Y., by Lynn Savio Hollander, widow of the Free Speech Movement leader.

		Molly doesn't only write thoroughly enjoyable and readable essays, but she also does a consistently thorough job of collecting up data to back her views.

	Gus Van Horn: Ivins: One Apology Short
		It is quite another to attempt to reduce the moral calculus of a war to the act of counting dead bodies.

		Molly Ivins clearly condemns our nation on moral grounds for Iraqi civilian deaths, and her magic number of 20,000 allowed her to say that we had even surpassed the brutality of Saddam Hussein!

		She tried to warn us: With the publication of Shrub in early 2000, syndicated columnist Molly Ivins detailed George W. Bush’s privileged rise and disastrous reign as governor of Texas in the mid- to late ‘90s.
		Ivins is particularly good in taking arcane federal regulations and showing how the Bush administration’s lax oversight has hurt ordinary Americans, making their jobs, homes, water, and food less safe.
		Ivins and Dubose go on to cover the effects of his court policies, the Patriot Acts, his naked espousal of fundamentalist religion, his tax policies, his environmental policy, the EPA, his unilateralist foreign policy, his food policy.
