Molly Ivins is at it again. By the time you get around to clicking on that link, the column might well be gone (her syndicate, as far as I can tell, doesn't archive them... at least not on-line), so here's the opening salvo:
She goes on to cop to the fact that she knows she's being a spoilsport by bringing everyone down during the holidays, exercising her cliched liberal guilt, but the points she raises should be raised -- how funding to help the homeless has been slashed over the years, and how paltry it is in comparison to the size of the "war" budget -- and it's a discussion we should be having.
Aunt Eula wrote from Fort Worth, Texas, to inform me that in 1954, 50,000 reindeer migrated from Lapland to Finland. An interesting seasonal note, but the most interesting thing about it is that we know it. Someone counts migrating reindeer so we know if they're up, down or holding steady. Try getting an accurate count of the homeless in America.I love Molly Ivins.
