But like the late Governor Ann Richards and the late great Molly Ivins, Amy believes we should never lose our sense of humor. " Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous." -- Molly Ivins "Most of all, I remember those children in the classrooms and those kids who grabbed me around the knees, and I think of the old people who really need a voice when they're trapped in wheelchairs in dirty nursing homes. The person in this office really must have a conscience to know that how they direct this government dramatically affects the lives of those people." -- The Late, Great Governor Ann Richards on the job of Governor of Texas.
