"Oh dear!"

"Oh dear!" is Molly Ivins' superhero power.

She is the kind of blunt old lady I would like to be if I were ever going to be an old lady (no, Molly, I am not calling you old, but yours is a superpower of sarcastic maturity and I have this feeling that you will only get better with age). Actually, this is probably the kind of old lady that Mason will one day be.
