Free Martha…
…but not yet. Martha Stewart was convicted of a white collar crime. She acted on a tip from her stockbroker and lied about it. She’s a CEO, a celebrity, and a style icon. Was she singled out? Probably. Would I have done the same thing in her shoes? Probably. Will I continue to buy her magazines, watch her show, and drool over her collection of Jadite kitchenware. Absolutely.
To show my support, I finally mailed in my invoice for Everyday Food.
There’s an excellent chance that Martha will go to prison. While she’s serving time, she’ll need someone, or several someones, to fill in for her on her TV show. Martha, if you’re reading this, call me. I’ll do your baking spots.
I don’t need to come to your studio, just send over the production team. I’ve got the purple KitchenAid mixer, the Silpat baking mats, the cooling racks, the spring-form pans, and the ramekins. I can separate eggs with my eyes closed, I always sift my flour, and I have the greatest looking vintage cake and pie carrier ever.
Fran can do the gardening segments. Raz, indoor plant cultivation and care. Smells is handy with a paintbrush – he can do interior decorating.
For T-Shirts, go here
I just ordered the No Justice, No Quiche graphic on an apron. I’ll wear it when I do my baking spots.
And keep your eyes peeled for a crafty project entry from Swan’s Project Page tomorrow. Got to pick up the slack.

i think i’m glad she was found guilty. honestly, what she did was wrong and incredibly incredibly incredibly stupid! she’s acting on advice about $50,000 worth of stock when her net worth is in the hundreds of millions? please. she was going to save a couple of thousand on the info, or improve her net worth by .0000nothing%, not worth it.
life will go on for her and the rest of the world, but more importantly she can be used as an example of what you can’t (or shouldn’t) try to get away with just because you’re a celebrity and have lots of cash.
ok, i’m done with my ethics lesson for the day.

Word. She broke the law. But the crazy media circus surrounding the trial is ridiculous. We all should be up in arms about Enron and Worldcom, cases where CEO ripped-off their stockholders and employees. Martha didn’t damage anyone’s life but her own. Maybe she can decorate Ken Lay’s cell. Where the heck is he, anyway?

no, i continue with the stupidity issue. she had the choice early on to settle the case for a cool $200,000 fine. instead she tries to defend herself, which is redic, and in the process manages to lose many many many millions of dollars. redic. even if she was not guilty, why decide to put yourself through that? what was she trying to prove? not worth it.
