Attitudinal Dissonance

What is a card-carrying pessimist to do when he reads this?

One reason despair is not an option is because things can always get worse, and then what'll we do?
--Molly Ivins

So, despite my dark and gloomy outlook on life, I am evidently required to remain upbeat? Ouch.

The column where the above line appears discusses the Vietnamization of Iraq, and it's quite good. You might also like another recent column by Ivins, which discusses Bush and North Korea.

Good columns. Molly Ivins. At least some things are consistent.
