Other Texans will be missed much less than journalist Molly Ivins (d. 2007). Perhaps over-confident in "the power of the people," she was otherwise a voice of reason and sanity. And very funny--especially in this excerpt from a talk in Berkeley. Learn all about Bush, false prophets, utility commissioners on loan from Enron, the occasional triumph of the little guy, and how to make political activism fun. Plus seasonal commentary by K.D.
Produced for WWUH-FM, "Public Alternative Radio," at the University of Hartford. Ivins excerpt courtesy of Scooter, of "The innerSide" on KPFT, Houston (weekly installments available on A-Infos Radio Project). Feedback to kdowst at hotmail period calm.
