Politics is not a picture on a wall or a television sitcom that you can decide you don’t much care for.
Molly Ivins Quotes
As a veteran of many an electoral defeat at the polls, may I remind you of the proper Texan attitude toward slaughter at the polls? A few years before Billie Carr died this September at age 74, a friend called to ask how she was doing. "Well," she said, "They just impeached my boy up in Washington, there's not a Democrat left in statewide office in Texas, the Republicans have taken every judgeship in Harris County, and yesterday I found out I have cancer." Pause. "I think I'll go out and get a pregnancy test because with my luck, it'll come back positive."
