Anna Nicole "Moving" to the Bahamas

Vergie Arthur comforted in court and no pic of Billy Wayne Smith

Not gonna happen. Regardless of the Florida court ruling today that the body of Anna Nicole Smith be flown to the Bahamas for burial, the gambler in me says Anna's Mama Vergie Arthur will appeal to have the corpse re-ticketed to Southeast Texas. And watch Anna's ex-husband Billy Wayne Smith hop on the buck-board. This thing is far from done for two reasons:

Firstly and mainly, the money. By some accounts as much as a half a billion dollars, US. Wow. But forget that. The amount really doesn't matter here. I guarantee you as long as there is one dime in the same room with attorneys and papers can still be filed, this will go on until the Anna comes home. Billy Wayne dropped his "boot" today during his telephone testimony to the court from Mexia, Texas when asked about his and Anna's deceased son Danny, "I wish he was buried in Texas." Danny is currently interred in the Bahamas, for now.

Secondly, there's the little irritating detail of Florida law whereby it dictates the disposition of Anna's body should be decided by the next of kin over the age of 18, and that's Vergie. I'm sorry, but deciding in favor of the court appointed Guardian Ad Litem for the baby girl is, well, it's just flat wrong. Watch the attorneys jump on the dime. Whoever gets the body, gets the estate.

I'm a big fan of T. S. Eliot, but he too got it flat wrong when he said, "Death is a moment of complete simplicity." Bummer :-(
