The geographical distance could not be greater but nor could the spiritual proximity.
Molly Ivins was one of my own kind - one of the very best. She may have been writing in Texas, but we were reading her in South Australia. Avidly. With absolute joy that she was allowed to have a voice in the American media landscape. The balanced voice, the funny one - satirist and wise woman. She wielded wit and irony as weapons of mass communication.
That breast cancer has taken her is an outrage and an injustice.

When I heard that Ms. Ivins had died, I immediately thought of you. From Texas to Australia to Vermont, the connections we are making here on blogs and the Internet give voices like Ivins more power.
