I want to think about Anna Nicole after the autopsy results, after I can process this strange news in some kind of context.
Meanwhile, one thing I didn’t think I’d be doing this morning was reading an amazing and beautiful poem about Anna Nicole’s life and death.

I am now getting dozens of spam comments that say “You have so much spam here” or “This is spam, delete it!”
It’s metaspam.
I left the house without earrings this morning. I feel totally undressed. And weird.
And normally I’d have gone back into the house and gotten the earrings. But it’s six degrees outside. And the thing is, if I’m late for work, I end up in the back of the parking lot. And it’s a looooong walk in six degree weather to the entrance to the building. Just for earrings.
It’s amazing. Every morning since this cold snap, I’ve been totally motivated to get to work on time.
I was so impressed when John Edwards decided to hire two of my favorite bloggers.
Predictably, they’re being swiftboated. Story here and here. Now there are rumors that Amanda & Shakes are going to be fired (story here and here).
So, here’s what I wrote to the :Edwards campaign:
Dear Senator Edwards and staff:
I would be appalled if you allowed the excellent bloggers Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan to be swiftboated off of your campaign.
Bill Donohue has long taken bigoted and anti-Semitic stances. He is the last person who should be dictating Edwards campaign policy.
Please know that I am still in the process of evaluating which candidate I will vote for in the Democratic primaries. A candidate who caves into far-right smears and pressures is not one I will support.
Regards,
Deborah Lipp
Write with your own (polite) words of support.
You all answered so fast, I didn’t even have to wait until Thursday! Good job, folks.
