Am I the only one kinda  about the whole Anna Nicole thing in the media? Day before yesterday they all had not one good thing to say about the woman and what a trainwreck she was. THey mocked her relentlessly, as did most folks (think back- you can't tell me you never said something about what a dip the woman was).
Now all of a sudden, it's like everyone is so shocked and appalled by her death. I mean, come on! I'm not saying it's not a shame that she died, I'm just saying that we all saw this one coming. Instead of taking her clear drug dependency issues seriously, she was televised and ridiculed. I don't get all the "grief" over her passing in the news, I really don't.
