rivercityvibe   “Puerile, smutty, schoolboy nonsense” – My Mom

blah…blah… her poor son…blah…blah…so vulnerable….blah…blah…like Greek tragedy….blah…blah…candle in the wind……blah…blah…let down by those she loved…blah…blah… etc. etc.

This is what the stories about the arrest, Friday, of Howard K. Stern, the former boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith, read like, to me.

Credit where credit is due. That is not un-hot.

Granted, she was a mess when she died (her reality show was once referred to as a “suicide note in weekly installments”), but we should remember that she was one of the most popular Playboy Playmates of all time. With the arrest of this Stern character, it seems justice might be about to be done. Stern is charged with enabling (read, “strongly encouraging) the drug abuse that led to her death.

The full story is in that shining beacon of first-amendment abuse, the People.

[ I’m going to level with you. Notwithstanding the undoubted tragic elements, this whole post was just an excuse to use the picture above. Please disregard any opinion it may have in it. Besides, Stern’s people say he “didn’t do it”]
