PETA Mourns Death of Anna Nicole

PETA posts an article on the passing of Anna Nicole Smith, comparing the organization to her influence in a way that kind of makes sense but isn’t immediately obvious to the casual observer: “We always thought that Anna Nicole was a perfect fit for PETA because, just like us, she not only hated cruelty to animals but also couldn’t be ignored and because, no matter what people thought of her, they always had an opinion one way or another.”

Touching stuff. To solidify the comparison, both were pretty good at performing stripteases for selected audiences.

I’m 73 and my adult son called me last week for the first time in three months and it was to ask me to co-sign a loan and I said yes immediately not because it was smart but because the sound of his voice asking me for something was the closest I’ve felt to being needed in longer than I can say out loud
