" This book is a collection of Molly Ivins old newspaper columns. As such, it's all old news. It's topical, and it's dated. I learned many things about the politics of the recent past. But I learned more about what kind of human being Molly Ivins was. The more I read, the more I loved her. She was smart, and laugh-out-loud funny, and I might have loved her for that alone, but I loved her more dearly for her deep-rooted decency, and belief in this country. She believes that government is supposed to be all about working hard to solve problems, and making life better for people by keeping them safe, healthy, well-educated, well-employed, and protected from corporate greed. There is much depressing in this book, as she documents example after example of that corporate greed working against the common good. But she laughs whenever and wherever she can, and she praises every honest, fair and hardworking politician, even when she does not agree with their policies. She was a voice of reason in a bitter political climate. I wish I could have known her, and am sad that she died too soon. "
