Allright, I wasn't going to write anything since I am so preoccupied with my damn keys, but 2 things caught my eye that I couldn't let go. First, the kid beside me is trying to download nudie pics of Angelina Jolie on a public computer. That's all. Just thought I should tell the world.
MSN blurbs (which recently I pay no attention to at all) just informed me of Martha's sad fate. Guilty on all 4 counts. What a tragedy. She'll have to trade cigarettes for... no, I can't do it. Too many jokes have already been made, and it's a sad occasion for me. And a joyous one. I have a love/hate relationship with her, which makes sense, considering she is both the anti-christ and a god.
Feminist though I am, I don't think She was attacked more than a man would be. If Donald Trump had been caught, really, truly, firmly caught doing the insider trader thing, they would have gone after him just as much. She just didn't know enough to not get caught, and only made the situation worse.
I do think people rejoiced a little more than they would have in a man's case. Everyone loves to see celebrities fall, and come down to our size. Their wealth and air-time constantly make the rest of us feel smaller. And with Her, that feeling is quadrupled. Because She can do anything. She is the craft Queen, inspiring a fanatical following and teaching us... everything. Being an all-powerful deity can make normal people feel a little inferior.
So I mourn for a fallen god. And I rejoice that this paragon that passed herself off as human and made us mere mortals feel like crafty weaklings will be brought down to carving ornate handles for soap shivs, garnishing 300 sloppy joes, and making sure the prison compost is the right temperature.
Martha... come back soon. We'll miss you, you devil.
well said. there's nothing more frightening and comforting on a blah day than a glimpse at a Martha Stewart Mag.

AMEN! I agree with you on the Martha stance completely. But have you seen the tabloids? Apparently Martha is TERRIFIED of lesbians and thinks she will get attacked in prison. Oh the inhumanity!!

Real time for Martha too--no Club Fed. I wonder if that is a good thing? I have to say though, she taught me a lot about how to load the dishwasher.
