The death of Diana was just as we always knew--she was a victim of a drunk driver and even of obsessive paparazzi.

The state begged to differ the claim of judicial bias in the Darren Mack case.

Miscellaneous.

Fortunately, she will be okay.

Hundreds paid their respects to Brianna Denison at the area where her body was found Friday.

Cartographers once again have to revise their world maps.

Dodi's dad still tries to shift the blame regarding Dodi and Diana's deaths almost eleven years ago.

I will never believe the deaths were anything other than the result of a drunken driving accident.

The widow is as goddamned stupid as her late husband. Of course nobody who dare think she ought to lose her kids.

As the World Turns.

Old Whatshisface carried the torch for Diana for so long, he couldn't stay married to his current wife, whom he married a mere 20 months ago.

Diana's a homewrecker long after death.

More about the good doc is here.

Miscellaneous.

A man considered a great catch by some gullible women has finally been caught and sentenced to prison.

Don't forget to click on the pictures. They're a hoot, especially the one where he poses with a thoroughbred foal. I had to post it here. Note there is what appears to be a pile of shit in the foreground. Whatever it was, it should have been removed. ( From the Chicago Tribune)

Diana wrote some love letters to Dodi which became public.

Maybe she wasn't trying to make Hasnat Khan jealous after all by running around with Dodi.

Just when we thought we wouldn't hear from him again, he may remain in the public eye.

The tenth anniversary of Diana's death came and went, and her legacy is more irrelevant than ever.

As the World Turns.

The royals marked the tenth anniversary of Diana's untimely death in a Paris auto crash.

There was little doubt that despite her well-known shortcomings, she was a good mother.

But many, many Britons were shocked over Prince Charles' lack of decorum:

Harry and William were credited with organizing the noontime service, but Charles was blamed by many for the furor over an invitation to his current wife.

Camilla, whom Diana blamed for breaking up her marriage, decided to stay home. That decision followed quickly after the Mail on Sunday published a commentary by Diana's friend, Rosa Monckton, saying the princess would have been "astonished" that Camilla was invited.

Call him brave or downright foolish, but jockey Constantino Hernandez has made a comeback to horse racing, almost 20 years after an injury nearly cost him his life.

Evidently Germaine Greer has never heard the saying: "If you can't say anything nice about somebody..."

Get Ready

for the media blitz as the tenth anniversary of Diana's death approaches.

Just As She Did

in her accurate assessment of the late Steve Irwin,Germaine Greer has once again provoked controversy, this time regarding Diana, Princess of Wales.

Probably not a smart move on her part. While one could convincingly write that Irwin got what was coming to him (and, after watching a handful of episodes of his Crocodile Hunter series or whatever it's called, I believe he did, for he treated animals like crap), Diana is a whole different matter.

Apparently, the article isn't available online; I haven't been able to find it. All we have are news summaries, which aren't satisfactory.
