Got an extra holiday card that needs sending?
Here's an address:
Molly Ivins
c/o Creators Syndicate
5777 West Century Blvd. Suite 700
Los Angeles, CA 90045
Your card doesn't need to get there by any specific date, but now seems like a good time to send it. Ms. Ivins has taken leave from work to undergo treatment for breast cancer. This ain't the first time for my girl Molly. Word is, she'll be back in January. We most sincerely hope so.
Those of you who know me offline will understand why I have a special appreciation for this stellar journalist: she's a tough lady who calls 'em as she seems 'em, and she's invariably right. Blow-dried politicians fear her, and that makes us all a little more safe.
Go easy on the sympathy, though. If her tone from an earlier battle is any indication, she'll hurl your good intentions into the trash. Or right back in your face.
Just tell her to get off her ass and back into the saddle. If you've heard any new Shrub jokes lately, she'd probably like those, too.
Thanks to The Quad-City Times, via Google Alerts, for the link. Thanks to many papers for giving Molly's address.
