Martha Stewart Whining Again!

Has anyone heard the recent news about Martha Stewart? Seems she is dissatisfied with her house arrest. Currently she is under the same policy as any blue collar working criminal. 40 hours a week that she can leave her containment area to go to her employment.

Her problem, or so she states, is that she cannot "run" her company by just working 40 hours a week. Her TV show producer also states that the black ankle braclet is unseemly when she wears a dress on the set.

Now, does anyone know what kind of estate Martha Stewart has? She has horses, and a lot of acerage, with a huge house (all decked out in doillies...lol) and plenty of room to coordinate her business. She has internet, fax, phone, etc... Also I am pretty sure they could put up a set on her estate to do her TV show from.

So why is she complaining now? I for one am glad that the judge is making the full punishment stick, proving to the upper echelon of society that they are not above the law, and not above serving a sentence, no matter how minor.

Thanks, I wanted to get that off of my chest!

But they ARE above the law. And they ARE above serving a sentence.

I assure you, if you or I had done what she did, we'd be in a jail cell. Now and for years to come.

But I thought that the criminal justice system would like to HELP not hinder people trying to be contributing members of society. Oh sure, the truth of the matter is that Martha stands to gain a lot of money if the house arrest is lifted but it just seems like the system is bending over backwards to nail-her-to-the-wall. I mean, c'mon, she's a woman who told men what to do and no man likes that! I certainly don't. :rolleyes:

And believe me, if any of us guys were THAT famous and rich we would've been left alone. :)








psst,....can you see my tongue in my cheek?

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'.
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling,
In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that even the nobles get properly handled
Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em
And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,
Stared at the person who killed for no reason
Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'.
And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished,
And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence.
Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Bury the rag deep in your face
For now's the time for your tears.

Thank You Oversoul!

While I agree that Martha Stewart got off on a lighter sentence than you or I would have, I am pretty proud of the judge for at the very least, making that sentence stick. Of course, it could be argued that if all of us could afford Johnny Cochran, there would not be any "Jail Overcrowding".

Yup, kinda along the same principle of "Don't think of the color red!"

All that does is make you think of red.
