GRRR! Anna Nicole Smith's Sideshow

You know what really Grrrs me about the whole Anna Nicole Smith death, child custody battle and funeral coverage?

How about the number of TV anchors who vocalize their displeasure with covering the story, and then go on to cover it anyway? Over the weekend, I heard one anchor say something like “everyone knows I don’t care for the coverage, but tell me about the funeral.”

Anyway, Smith got what she deserved on Friday — a tacky, sideshow-style funeral that, like her life, was full of hangers-on, enablers and out-of-the-woodwork relatives wanting handouts.

Is it me, or does the sudden stardom of Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole's estranged mother, seem eerily reminiscent of the character who played Hilary Swank's mother in "Million Dollar Baby"?

Remember the ambulance-chasing lawyer brought to Swank's paralyzed character's bedside, so that she could sign away her estate to these non-believing, bloodsucking relatives?

Time for THE LIST!!!!!

The fascination has not been so much about the Tabloid Anna Nicole Smith, but the legal crises surrounding;
The death of a son - about to reach his majority (age 21)of undetermined manner and cause. Could be homicide.
The birth of a daughter - whose paternity and custody is in question - who may also have been born addicted to illegally obtained prescription drugs.
The premature, undetermined death of the infant's mother -could be homicide, suicide or misadventure.
Conspiracy to access a $1.6billion estate and eliminate per stirpes heirs.
Conspiracy by lawyers and foreign government officials to circumvent immigration laws for fraudulent purposes.
Intent to defraud owners of real property and real estate.
Illegal transportation of prescription drugs, by interstate and international waters.
Potential kidnapping of a US citizen.
Illegal disposition/seizure, by an officer of the court, of the remains of a US citizen in contravention of State Law (Florida)
Creation and presentation of fraudulent documents to avoid parental and custodial rights.
Possible religious bias against a Southern Baptist/Christian upbringing for a child who had a GODMOTHER appointed by her mother, who had a "Baptist" minister perform a "committment ceremony". Will the self-appointed father honor this religious affiliation or circumvent it?

WE SHOULD ALL BE TERRIFIED THAT THESE SAME LAWYERS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND JUDGES COULD PUT ALL OF US IN JEOPARDY.

A REVIEW OF ALL THE "LEGAL" RULINGS TO DATE SHOULD REMIND US TO NEVER LEAVE OUR AFFAIRS IN THE HANDS OF LAWYERS OR JUDGES.

and Mike Straka should walk a mile in Virgie Arthur's shoes before casting stones. He has made assertions without proof - a grieving mother needs this? What an *ssh*l*
