Molly Ivins passed away yesterday. She will be dearly missed. She was one of my favorite American newspaper columnists; she was witty, smart and fearless. She was a tireless critic of the powerful, who played politics at the expense of the regular folks. I read all her books and her weekly columns which appeared in hundreds of American newspapers, including the Seattle Times. She died of breast cancer at the age of 62.
