Terrorized the Repuq men in Texas in the 1990's.

The movie "Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins" was a documentary about Molly and her very close relationship with Ann Richards. It is well worth watching.

I still can't believe the direction Texas has taken in the last 2 decades. As far as I'm concerned, the next Democratic president should let Mexico have them, IF Mexico would take them.
