She said, “Well bless your heart” and smiled. I hope that will be some consolation to those who didn’t get the chance to tell her of their love and respect in person. My guess is that she knew how much we all loved Miss Molly Ivins and still do.</p> I went to see Molly Ivins at Harvard a few months before she died especially to tell her that there were more people who loved her than she knew.

What I enjoyed was the style and the anecdotes. I knew some of the stories because I live in Oregon. Typically Molly, the book is so readable and so important. Thanks, Lou for getting it done.</p> I read Bill of Wrongs a few weeks ago, and was glad to get it through CREDO (Working Assets), and have loaned it to an old friend.

… are the dilemmas facing librarians and national security letters over, or are they continuing?

Sorry I’m a geek for USAPA (Patriot Act) which is what got me started on digging up things on W and his minnions; I have no allusions that the attitude has changed since these letters were first sent out

You have no expectation of privacy according to Daniel J Bryant, Assistant AG

Admissions of “mistakes” which does not take into account the brazen disregard for anyone’s rights by the Bushies since they passed USAPA and the PAA
