"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies — 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.' " - Kurt Vonnegut..

Your voice will be missed and if there's an afterlife, I hope you and Molly Ivins have one Hell of a Cocktail Party!!!! We thank you for your wit and wisdom.......

Requiem - Kurt Vonnegut....
.............................................. closing lines:

When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
“It is done.”
People did not like it here.
