Don't Get Me Started
Ann Richards dies and Dick Cheney lives - there is absolutely no justice in the world. Dick, who lies out of the side of his mouth lives. Ann Richards, who brought real salty Texas talk to the national stage dies. In her keynote address to the 1998 Democratic Convention in Atlanta she described Bush I as "Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth." Those words coming out of the mouth of a white haired older woman [not his mother] did almost more to fire up his vindictive son, George II, than the Time magazine cover discussing his Dad and the Wimp Factor. We are still living through their bizarre father-son psycho-drama. Go to therapy and leave us out of it. But thanks to Ann for her courage to give as good as she got, for talking about her alcoholism and for always being there for people of color and for gays and lesbians.

she will certainly be missed.

I was pretty shocked when I heard that news.
(And thank you for performing at Western KY Uni tonight! I was there and COMPLETELY amazed!
And yes. They ARE the Lady Toppers.)

She will be sorely missed, especially now. Getting through the last year and however-many months of Bush II will be hard without her.
(I also want to thank you for coming to WKU. Although, you set off those silly Christian fundamentalists in my Women's Studies class.)

I was very sad in hearing this. She will certainly be missed.
I was also at the Western Kentucky performance and was blown away. Yes, they are the Lady toppers, simply meaning the lady HILLtoppers... You know, because WKU was built on a hill. Just to clear up any misconceptions. Sorry if this is any kind of a disappointment.
