Still have Jim Hightower and Juanita, but it's not the same. Sending love to you if you're still checking in on this plane of existance, Molly.

You're sorely missed. May there be "cons" to laugh at and

liberals to laugh WITH, wherever you are.

I read Juanitajean, and she is a hoot, and I still miss Molly as if she were my sister that I never met. I have all of her books, use them therapeutically to cure the blahs (not Rick Santorium's blahs you understand)
