[Gazette Blog Editor's note: Sorry this is a bit salty, but that's what you get with Molly Ivins, the late, great Texas journalist.  And it's a message we all can agree on - whether you lean to the left or the right.]

I think it’s high time we changed our national symbol from the eagle to a red, white and blue condom. A condom allows for inflation, it  halts production, it destroys the next generation, and it protects a bunch of pricks.  Plus it gives you a sense of security while you are actually being screwed.
