. . . is a threat to justice everywhere. I used to be a public defender in Texas. Now, I'm a public defender in Washington. Despite what you may have heard about Texas justice, there's just as much injustice here as there was there. And so I fight. And I rant. About justice, injustice, and life in general. (*Despite the photographic evidence below, I am not Veronica Mars. She is, in fact, smarter than me.)
I was very sad to read today that Molly Ivins passed away. Growing up liberal in Texas, she was definitely a hero of mine. I got the chance to meet her during my first year of law school at a public interest law group fundraiser. She signed my copy of one of her books I owned, "Give 'em hell! --Molly" I do my best every damn day, Molly. I really do.

A sad day indeed. She was quite a remarkable woman.
