Watching "Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins" [View all]

I've been wanting to go back and learn more about this incredible person. I think the impetus was from watching "Shock and Awe" about Knight Ridder's attempt to expose the lies of the GW Bush administration. So many parallels with the current repuglicon disaster unfolding now.

Quote from this documentary: "There is a batty degree of triumphilism loose in this country right now."

Both excellent shows about the past and the present and future US.
