re: re: : martha stewart verdict

You know what, though? Even though I think she was nailed, because she is who she is, for the same thing a lot of other people did and got away with.... she still did it. What...she doesn't have enough money and had to play fast and loose with the law to stay afloat? I just can't whip up any righteous indignation at the idea of her serving time, or even muster much sympathy. I think its overkill, but truthfully, I really don't care.

And a totally unrelated tidbit: This made me remember a woman who had an office down the hall from my husband...she had a picture of Martha and her dog as the screensaver on her computer. Then again, her office also had all sorts of homey little touches... calico and ribbon picture frames...you get the picture.

Remember ladies: If you become a successful businesswoman we will CUT YOUR ASS!


And somewhere O.J. plays golf...
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I'm with 'floats. Yes, this cost taxpayers millions to prosecute -- a woman who slid by some rules to save herself 40 thousand bucks, pocket change for her. And okay, she was scapegoated, to be sure. Hit harder to make a point. Maybe even because she was a woman. I get all that. But then, the trial started. They brought in a jury, some of whom were her fans; they introduced the hard evidence; they make a compelling case; Martha opted not to take the stand and they had but one witness. And then the jury simply found her guilty.

I think it's using a hammer to kill a cockroach, too, but at a certain point, we must remember, it wasn't created out of the thin air. Anyone who followed the trial knows: It all goes back to one person--Martha. I know she's hardly a threat to our ever-flexible ethics in this country. And yet, had she not pulled what she pulled it wouldn't have happened. Don't we have to remember that, and not see her as a victim here?

I'm sorry, 43 million people have no health insurence. Half the African American men in NYC are unemployed. In comparison Martha didn't want to lose her "walking around" money. I have to react on a sliding scale.

Leona Helmsley did jail time. She can give Martha tips on which matron needs cigarettes. When your good to Mama, Mama's good to you.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
