Zombie Molly Ivins: Sorry to Dissappoint, Children

Well, this young lady got all excited when she saw the "molly_ivins" rss feed suddenly start popping up headlines in her Journal thingamabob. (I'm sorry, I can type, but all these screen things and little islands of lingo just irritate me. I don't like clubs that try to be exclusive)

But it turned out to be a false alarm. Alternet decided to push out their main feed to all the "dead" lists. I can't say I blame them. I'm not using it, and it could attract some new blood.

But yes, the top post was about legalizing marijuana, which would be a tiny stretch for me to write about, especially with the Ledge in session,* and the our only Governor talking about seceden' from that pesky union. But when the next link down was about starting a compost pile, the jig was up.

So, yes. Sorry to disappoint. It's not a rehash of the Best Of. It's your turn now to be writing and doing.

I must be off. Love to all.

College students can now shoot each other on campus now, not just the streets. Now you don't have to ditch the weapon if you manage to stray on campus while on a spree.

Let Joe be Joe!

I have to admit to a soft spot for Joe Biden. I didn't know beans about him until he was the vee-pee-nominee, but I liked what I read for the most part. Smart guy, thinks about stuff, votes in the main the way I like.

But I love, love, love the gaffes. I really do. It's the absolutely necessary chaos factor in an otherwise perfectly orderly administration.

How could you not love this?

Biden tried to reassure gun owners that Obama had no plans to institute new laws that would restrict their access to firearms by telling them, “I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey.” He added, “If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem.”

Beautiful! He's saying what a bunch of people in the country think. So what if aides have to scramble to clarify? They shouldn't be clarifying his remarks, they should be clarifying the administration's policies.

Oh and so what about the undisclosed location? Do you really think the Secret Service and all the might of the country can't keep him safe? He's traveling to the Balkans and Lebanon, for pete's sake.

I say, let Joe be Joe. Say it like it is, man.
