...can news of a diaper-wearing, pepper-spray-wielding astronaut attempting to kidnap and possibly murder a rival in a love triangle get bumped by the Hendrix-style death of a D-list celebrity. God I love this state.

By the way, now that it's been reported that the drug collection in Anna Nicole's hotel room apparently looked like something out of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, how soon until we can stop mincing words and just come out and say she offed herself with drugs?
