Breaking news: Anna Nicole still dead

I was sitting in the San Antonio airport bar yesterday, downing schnapps and Bud, and watching the "news" channels. Both CNN and the Fox News were doing live coverage of the Anna Nicole "where do you bury the body" hearing. Amazingly, all the other drunks in the bar were captivated by it. They were staring at the TVs. Some were even discussing it, gravely, seriously.

That's the part I have the hardest time getting. People are really into this.

The news when she first died was that her fans on the blogosphere were talking conspiracy. Excuse me, but: her fans? What "fans"? What exactly did she do, except blow up her boobs to the size of the Hindenburg and marry a 200 year old dead guy and appear nude in Playboy and apparently screw Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband and....wait a minute. That's some interesting stuff, there, eh? NOW we're talking!
