Martha is smart enough to know that a pink pantsuit would make her look like a whale.

Funny how the limosine libs always tell us we're greedy if we don't pay more taxes, yet they're always the biggest tax cheats.

[independentmind]

Whatever one's opinion is about Martha's personality, a long prison sentence hardly seems fair for a transaction that netted her about $40 grand. Compare her crime to that of Andrew Fastow, former CFO of Enron. He was sentenced for ten years. Six months to a year for Martha sounds about right to me.

You don't build multi-billion dollar organizations by being disorganized.

Oh yes you can. I know many successful people that are disorganized. They flit around from project to project and never complete anything. But they have great people that work for them and those are the people that really get the job done.

[RedWhiteBlue]

Martha's best friend's testimony really hurt Martha. It seems to me that her friend must have been holding a lot of hidden hostility to testify as she did. This tells me a lot about Martha.

Most of us go through life meeting people and making friends. Some of these friends fall by the wayside, not because of a falling out, but because our lives change and our circles change. But the more I hear about Martha, the more it seems that she didn't collect friends, she collected enemies. What a sad life.

[Hildy]

Why do people hate her so much? This reminds me of the Leona Helmsly prosecution/persecution many years ago. They NEVER go after men in the hateful way they go after women. You think we've come a long way, but in many ways, we haven't.

Didn't stop Hilliary, though :)

To quote scripture as you do, you surely have more riches in heaven than on earth. You are truly blessed.

I "clicked" --- LOL --- Decorate Martha's Cell --- that's funny.

"Imclone is a stupid name".

You know what's a stupid name? Dietech.

Who's the idiot who thought up that name? Dietech?

What kind of friggin' moron would put the word "die" in their business name; followed by "tech". What does that mean? "Tech" is short for "technology"; so does that mean that "Dietech" is involved with "the technology of dying"?

And to add insult to stupidity, "Dietech" runs their idiotic commercials at the rate of 10 per hour on every cable and local channel 24 hours a day!

Thanks. It's unfortunate that I had to lose everything to finally realise the truth. But everything that had been lost can be regained; those that deny that we are here to serve each other will never have enough, and will never find peace.
