I was astonished to see on World News Tonight a couple of nights ago scenes of people fighting to get seats in the courtroom. Then, in the paper today, this:

Quote:

Among the trial spectators was 51-year-old Robin Wilkie, who said she has spent $3,000 on hotels and food since arriving June 10 from Lake Minnetonka, Minn. She tallied more than 100 hours standing in line to wait for tickets and got into the courtroom 15 times to see Anthony.
"True crime has become a unique genre of entertainment," Wilkie said. "Her stories are so extreme and fantastic, it's hard to believe they're true, but that's what engrosses people. This case has sex, lies and videotapes — just like on reality TV."

It's all going into my great unwritten treatise on fame as the new opiate of the masses.

She needs to purify herself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. Or, maybe she just needs to get laid.
