It'll be a huge tempation for the American public to dismiss the tragedy of Anna Nicole Smith's death because of the cartoon-like persona she put forth in the media. I hope that doesn't happen.

When I first heard the news one of my initial thoughts (after wondering if she'd be buried in Mexia) was with her daughter. With the paternity suit in full swing, this story will heighten the already intense debate going on in our country about what constitutes a family.

What a crazy story...
