I’ll miss you, Molly

“As for me, it’s time for leaving.” A beautiful tribute in Molly’s own words at Brains and Eggs.

One of Molly’s favorite stories: MotherJones MJ93: The fun’s in the fight

Our Texas freedom-fighters have been prone to misbehavior ever since. A recent Ku Klux Klan rally in Austin produced an eccentric counter- demonstration. When the fifty Klansmen appeared (they were bused in from Waco) in front of the state capitol, they were greeted by five thousand locals who had turned out for a “Moon the Klan” rally. Citizens dropped trou both singly and in groups, occasionally producing a splendid wave effect. It was a swell do.

So keep fightin’ for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin’ ass and celebratin’ the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.

Thanks to Sonias at Texas Kaos.

A funny account of the event: Moon the Klan

The action fleshed out as the mooners sang a spirited rendition of If You’re Happy and You Know It (Moon the Klan).

Favorite Molly quote:

After yet another unsuccessful effort to modify the Texas sodomy law, the authors of a successful amendment were slapping backs and high-fiving. A voice from the press box said, “Sergeant, you must go over and reprimand both those men. Because under the amendments just passed by them, it is now illegal for a prick to touch an asshole in this state.”
