Musings on Anna Nicole Smith

The saddest part about this woman's death is the motherless infant she's left behind. For the life of me, however, I cannot fathom all the media coverage and the sorrowful mournings. AOL took a poll on the cause of death and for whom most had concern. No where was the question or the spot to post my real feelings: who the Hell cares! There is so much happening in the the world around us, so many others more worthy of our attention -- others who have had such a positive effect on the world, why pay so much attention to this wreck of a woman who has always seemed hell-bent on destroying herself? Maybe I've answered my own question: her life is like that accident we don't want to look at, but can't help but gawk at. Perhaps we do so in a combination of disbelief and abject embarrassment (and maybe relief that she's not our daughter!!!) It must have been a really slow new's week.
