Ivins, the sharp-witted liberal who skewered the status quo and was arguably the premier expert on George W. Bush and his administration died Wednesday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 62.


The Janesville Gazette ran her weekly column, it will be interesting to see who they replace her with......if anyone.

PURE IVINS

"The trouble with blaming powerless people is that although it's not nearly as scary as blaming the powerful, it does miss the point,"

"Poor people do not shut down factories ... Poor people didn't decide to use 'contract employees' because they cost less and don't get any benefits."

I will miss her.
