Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Syndicated columnist Ivins (Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She?) presents another collection of funny, perceptive political commentary.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From Library Journal

Ivins, author of the best-selling Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She? (Random Audio, 1991), offers another humorous collection of pieces that originally appeared in such organs as Mother Jones , the Progressive , and the Texas Observer. In one memorable essay, Ivins waxes irreverent on two members of her supposed literary circle, Madonna and Ivana Trump. In another, she exhorts Camille Paglia (outspoken author of Sexual Personae , Yale Univ. Pr., 1990) to "take a valium" and offers to introduce Paglia to "some Texas fraternity boys" who would love to make her acquaintance. In the remaining commentaries, Ivins likens Ross Perot to a chihuahua, reaffirms her fondness for men who like women and whiskey, and laments the passing of the Dallas Times-Herald . As always, she is funny, stalwart, and staunchly liberal in her observations. Ivins reads her material in a flat, Texas drawl that captures the barbeque flavor of her writing. All libraries owning the author's previous collection should acquire this.

5.0 out of 5 stars can we clone this woman?, May 3, 1998
By J. K. Kelley "literary mercenary" (Eastern WA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There really isn't a political writer quite like Molly Ivins. Witty, down-home, and interesting are all good words to describe this book.

Molly's great skill is in pointing out what is ridiculous about government, politics and society. She is a Texan who loves her home state and writes about its oddities with that in mind; no carpetbagger she. It was the famous Saul Alinsky who said that 'ridicule is the one weapon for which there is no defense nor counter', paraphrased, and Alinsky would be proud of Molly Ivins.

Big money types aren't going to like Molly much, as she consistently advocates that they use their money for something more socially beneficial than yachts, and that if they don't, that government take some of it away from them and then do so.

The only reason she can't get a '10' is because the book is comprised entirely of reprinted columns. In other words, everything you're reading was printed somewhere else first. I would be glad to give her the top rating if the book's contents were original.

If you are of the USA, and you love your country, you'll like Molly because she is and does as well. Nothing pleases her more mightily than a spirited exercise of the right to a voice. Neither does she pretend to be 'objective', read 'non-aligned'; she has the honesty to label where she comes from, and then let fly.

I've never been to Texas, but I think I understand it better after reading Molly's books. Recommended without reservation.

4.0 out of 5 stars I've read everything Molly and, October 18, 2003
By LilOrphan67 "lilorphanannie" (Avon Lake, OH United States) - See all my reviews
She's awesomely funny, direct and insightful. Molly Ivins has the unique perspective of following George W. Bush's career and writing about it since his Texas days. However, unlike many other writers with a political bent, that's not all she wants to talk about.

Forget the "reviewer" below who said this book is communist drivel; obviously he or she didn't even read the book and makes the telling mistake of discussing the cover, as if it matters.

In "Nothin But Good Times Ahead" everyone gets their due from Molly, including Bill and Hillary Clinton.

She calls 'em as she sees 'em, taking no prisoners and making you laugh, cry and think. She ought to run for president!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wit, charm, perspective, and a great good time!, August 1, 1999
By A Customer
This audio cassette is a joy; it made me laugh out loud. I only wish it were unabridged so I could get more of it. Molly Ivins expansive vocabulary enhances her perspective and wit.
