I learned in one of the obits that Molly knew Shrub since high school. No wonder she had his number so early and accurately. Although I never met her I read her regularly and like this blog was a staple bookmark to be checked often. Rest in peace Molly. You did a great job.

I didn't see it on last night news nor GMA this a.m. while getting ready for work. I know a number of women who have battled cancer and came out fine to carry on and that's what you hope for all women, especially someone of Molly's caliber. And those who don't make it, it always seems so unfair and wrong and so sad. Beautiful poem c u n d - thank you for expressing our feelings so well. This is the first I learned of Molly’s death.

And the night sky grows dimmer. The dark natures of man that you tried to enlighten will now feel free to roam more broadly. You had a way with words that many of us will miss. But It's now up to us to shine the light. That light of reason you held so high. Thank you for your gift. We'll have to carry the torch from now on... You are beloved. You will be missed... Peace be with you... Dear, Dear, Molly,
Your beacon of light has been torn away from us.
And the night sky grows dimmer.
The dark natures of man that you tried to enlighten will now feel free to roam more broadly.
You had a way with words that many of us will miss.
But It’s now up to us to shine the light.
That light of reason you held so high.
Thank you for your gift.
We’ll have to carry the torch from now on…
You are beloved.
You will be missed…
Peace be with you…

She was a beacon of sanity back then, an almost solitary lighthouse that helped me find my way back to terra firma. Since then, things are both much worse and much better. Better because more people are clued into the right's modus and aren't buying it any more. I think Molly was glad to see this turn toward sanity, but she was one of the few gutsy women who led the way, from way back when.

What a gutsy, genuine, and brave woman. I join all of the others in mourning the loss of a real treasure. When I read her column for the first time, I was awestruck.
