Obits: Anna Nicole Smith

Whew! What an unusual week...and it's not quite over yet. We started off strong with the mentally unstable NASA astronaut, and today, as if the news cycle is trying to top itself, Anna Nicole Smith drops dead. It's not all that surprising, but still...for all her flaws, that lady had some brass ones. She set precedent when her inheritance case was heard before the Supreme Court (the issue was the probate exception to federal jurisdiction for all you legal types...), which earned her a unanimous judgment in her favor. I'm sure it was the first time a former chicken joint waitress/day-shift stripper/Playmate of the Year/model/prescription drug aficionado/yo-yo dieting trophy wife ever went before the nation's highest court. I love this country. I'll let Fox News handle the rest.
