I realized years ago that 'news' is a church full of pregnant girl scouts getting struck by lightning on the Fourth of July. I should have mentioned that that was then; modern journalism just rewrites a police/Girl Scout/church press release about the event without checking to see if it happened.

I appreciate your perspective on this. I shied away from the ANS stuff (like I do on most nearly all sensational "news") but noted with my untrained eye the distinct lack of professionalism of the "judge".
I dig the "herding cats" reference too! ;'}

My favorite references to the ANS story: one from a fellow on NPR whose name I did not catch, "A friend asked if I had been following the (ANC)story and I replied, "No, but it's been following me."; the other, someone commenting, tongue in cheek, I think, "We will never understand the Iraqis, their culture is so foreign to ours, if you will believe it, not a single native Iraqi has stepped up and claimed paternity of Anna Nichole Smith's baby.".

I regard this as desecration of the dead. There is an unseemliness to all this I find deeply offensive. Can't we just let the dead rest in peace? Apparently not when they have an outsized estate at stake.

Judge Napolitano told Bill O'Reilly that Judge Seidlin did NOTHING wrong and that he was perfectly normal!!Let me understand this? Seidlin took testimony until 3:45pm and at 4pm, after 15 minutes of deliberating in his chambers in which he had to read written closing arguments from all sides, presents a 21 page decree that he signs at 4pm????? And Nepolitano sees NOTHING wrong with that? And the high priced lawyers involved with this case see nothing wrong with that?
Bottom line, it is humanly impossible for an impartial judge to read documents, decide the case, and have a 21 page decision typed and ready to sign in a 15 minute period.

It was bizarre, all those men crying, one of them even fainted didn't he? If any of them cared about her they would have a funeral for her.

Hello,
There is actually video of ANS in clown make-up, and it is one of the most bizarre films I have ever seen.
This entire situation is greed, greed of all those around this now dead woman and the greed of the press. I have not watched much, but good Lord, it is 24/7 on the news.
All I have to say to those involved:
Bury her before she is a puddle.
Find out who the father is.
Shut up, forever, then, someone (the father, maybe?) raise this poor little baby right.

He rambled. He repeated himself. He talked at length arriving at no known point. There are people who have microphone syndrome. Confronted with a microphone, they fall in love with the sound of their own voices, and start talking interminably about essentially nothing.
Frankly, that sounds like some very intelligent but sadly dope-addled (cocaine, I think) people I've run across. Fried brains tell no coherent tales.
I note the main thread about Anna's death has more than FIFTEEN THOUSAND POSTS and a quarter million views. UNGH--I have yet to even visit it--and plan to continue to avoid it. A gentleman must draw the line somewhere. Boundaries, you know....

Like Watching a Train Wreck I thought this was an article about the 2008 Republican presidential "frontrunners."

That's easy to understand, we seem to have a tsunami of train wrecks lately.

Congressman Billybob:
You have just highlighted the major reason I no longer subscribe to cable television or read any major newspapers for that matter.
Regarding the Smith matter, this was something that should have been kept out of the headlines and off the airwaves; regardless of the circumstances, grieving is private.
The MSM (and Fox News) seemed to have hit an all time low.

Ive seen judges who were characters, or fancied themselves as comedians. But, Ive never before seen the likes of Judge Seidlin. If he'd seen judge Robert Payne from the Federal Court in Richmond, VA, he'd be able to add crook to his list.
