Nothing to do with relationships but...

let me put my personal cards on the table, Martha Stewart-wise: I’ve never much cared for her TV cooking program or her near manic addiction to style and detail. On the other hand, if Martha Stewart had been Muriel Frobisher she would have gotten a “not guilty” verdict at best and 15 minutes of community service at the worst. So I guess that means I’m “Martha neutral.” That being said, the question pops into mind, why did the powers that be decide that she should do her 150 odd days in the pokey in West Virginia? Oh sure the slammer in her home state may be a little crowded but is that any reason to send America’s Style Czarina to the hinterlands of West “By God” Virginia? The facility is nicknamed Camp Cupcake for crying out loud. CNN has pictures of a sample cell there. They looked fairly tidy but might need a doily or two…. Send her where she’s needed! Also noticed that her company’s stock dropped by one percent when the Alderson, West Virginia prison was announced, implying that 1% of her company’s value depends on WHERE she’s going to jail. Furrowed brow of puzzlement at my keyboard… Also on the radar now is the prospect of a Martha Stewart reality show after she gets out. And I thought “Miami Slice” was over the edge. If that's not enough, think of the potential for the Learning Channel shows..."Trading Cells", "While You Were Incarcerated"...boggles the mind does it not? The other news story of note today is that the President changed his plans and has left for Florida a day early for the debate. The story from the spin factory is that he wants to observe the hurricane damage again. I’m not sure I’m buying that; more likely he’s not sure he can count on the Florida Supreme Court to cover his “six” again in 2004. If I sound cynical, wonder why… That's my story and I'm stickin' to it...
