The top headline everywhere today is the death of 39 year old Anna Nicole Smith.  The amount of print and broadcast coverage and just overall interest is almost surprising to me considering no one really had much to say about her while she was alive.  It’s all very sad and terribly ironic.

I can’t help but cringe at some of the discussion about Nicole: her deceased son, the fatherless (pending a paternity test) child that she left behind, the endless talk about who gets the money, the drugs (her own mother said she looked “wasted” in her last interview).

When asked what Anna Nicole should be remembered for no one could come up with much of answer.

One can only help that she’ll be remembered for something more than tragedy.
