The Iraq war is in its 5th year; four thousand soldiers dead; the world’s credit supply has seemingly dried up like an old Christmas fruit cake; and the Democrats can’t seem to be able to settle on a presidential nominee.

Which is why today’s latest Anna Nicole Smith story is of such vital interest to the American public!

Seems a jury in the Bahamas (who knew they had such things in the Bahamas??) has decided that Smith’s son died from an accidental drug overdose. He was 20 at the time of his death.

Smith apparently had mixed a cocktail of methadone and antidepressants.

There, now you have the day’s most important news.  Back to the presidential campaign.
