I am so tired of hearing about Anna Nicole Smith. Don't get me wrong, I understand that her death is a tragic event, and there are people who are mourning her. However, I really don't want to hear the gritty details. And come to think about it, I am not hearing a lot about anyone mourning her. Mostly what I am hearing is about people trying to get her money, primarily through gaining custody of her daughter. This is sad.
What is really sad is that this story is leading the news. There are wars going on, there is progress being made in anti-nuclear discussions, and the Navy is thinking about using dolphins and sea lions to patrol for terrorists. All of these things are important, the ugly infighting among Anna Nicole Smith's family members is not.
I regret the tragedy of an untimely death, anyone's untimely death. But let's grant her the dignity in death she never achieved in life, and leave her family's shenanigans where they belong, in private, not the front page.

I'm witcha on this one...but for some reason, I found myself watching the tabloids, aka FoxNews and CNN and MSNBC tonight to see what was up with the investigation. Even I am as sad and pathetic as the rest of America. It's the OJ Syndrome. We're all voyeurs. Sad, but true. Maybe it's because basically we can't handle real world news. Hmmm. That's not a good commentary.
Hey, thanks for visiting my blog. Let's make it a habit, huh?
