Molly Ivins has been a favorite commentator of mine for a couple decades now.  (god, I’m getting old.)  I don’t always agree with her – although I usually do.  My great love for her, however, comes more from her humor and her down home, practical view of the world.

This a quote from this past Tuesday’s column.  It’s a reprint from 2001 and still just as amusing today:

“One of the most profound insights I have ever had about our national life is that you cannot outlaw bad taste in America … Some people just like old refrigerators on their front porches, fountains of little boys peeing and plastic roses.  Get over it.” 

Ya gotta love it.
