Anna Nicole Smith, Dead At 39

Anna Nicole Smith, the woman who just couldn't seem to catch a break and the professional inspiration of The Sands' own Lola, died today.
.
Her story is so singularly American and tragic Dreiser could have scripted it himself. Her son, Daniel, died in September, 2006 under suspicious circumstances, her infant daughter's paternity is still in dispute, Smith was the object of desire and scorn in equal amounts.
.
A large woman with a large appetite for money and fame (read: security), she grabbed for as much as she could get. Little education but a lot of gumption took her far. And we beat the shit out of her for it.
.
Rest in peace, . . . at last.

Jeez. I nominate Anna Nicole as an Honorary Coral Sanders just because she tried so damned hard. Okay, she didn't exactly mirror my values, but what a fighter!

Interesting is it not how the recently passed Mrs. Smith, as matters currently stand, is without heir? A deceased son and illegitimate daughter of unknown paternity along with an uncertain marriage, dissapated her yellow brick road to its final paved step, the morning of February 8th, 2007. One may suggest an envious relative of the late Howard J. Marshall plot these unfortunate events. I believe Paris Hilton has spoken no words truer with, "Jealousy, it's such an evil thing...", not to mention my own bouts. I applaud Anna for fighting the rigorous battle for her slice of "the American dream" and for justice.

If there's anything men want from women, it's sex. At the same time, the thing they punsih women for is sex.
