Natalie’s new doo

Could it be that Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks has discovered her inner self? She’s been through a lot and stood up for what she believed. Maybe she has evolved into her true self as a result and made some outer changes to match the inner ones. the transformation is so amazing.

Great Women of Texas: Molly Ivans

No sheros list would be complete without a nod to Molly. I miss her. She made such great fun and sense out of politics. I used to read her column in our local paper in the morning out loud to Emily as we sat around the kitchen table drinking coffee. She could put things [...]

Ann Richard’s message true today

Let Congressman Wexler know you appreciate that he is working hard for accountability

Dear valerie,
Today, thanks in great part to your advocacy and persistence, the House of Representatives took a major, tangible step towards holding the Bush Administration accountable.

Ancient Artifacts also destroyed in War

Something I don’t hear talked about much about Iraq has to do with antiquities lost. Maybe to some it’s because it doesn’t seem appropriate to worry about stuff when so many innocent lives have been lost. I think too it’s because most Americans don’t have a clue what has been destroyed.
