Mebbie, Mebbie not!
The dummies are frantically scrambling around for converts, why ain't We?
Martha ain't no dummie, She just lacks honest input!
Anyway, do You have any reason not to try? I don't expect I have enough credibility here, to really go outrageous, but, at least, I try to keep My posts constructive.
If You are convinced of victory, "just because", You are really too damned obtuse for Me to mess with.
Must I define "rectal defilade"?

And I just wanted to state that I'm not picking on you...I just think you either haven't thought this all the way through, or you've never lived in an area that has real perps back out on the streets and seen the continuing damage they do once they're out of jail again. :)

New York

-If convicted of a felony and sentenced to incarceration, felon automatically regains the right to vote upon expiration of the maximum time to which he or she was sentenced, or upon discharge from parole, whichever occurs first.

-If convicted of a felony but not sentenced to incarceration, or if the sentence was suspended, felon's conviction does not affect the right to vote.

I started out in catering (after Martha of course)

I have notebooks full of decorating ideas, food presentation, recipes etc.

I'm not in the business any longer due to my husbands death, but I can tell you to be sure and search for the right spot. A B&B can only be successful if there are things for people to do in the area. Your moving around a bit is probably a "good thing" so you will have an idea as to where you wish to ultimately settle.

Keep your dream alive by learning as much as you can beforehand and you will be fine.

Raines completely hoses Fannie Mae's

This guy won't be forgotten. His sweetheart deal had mere 'components' in it that exceeded first year contracts to coveted NBA rookies. His is a case of lib destruction in high places. Books are going to be written about this character. Trust me.

But with Martha, lib 'goddess' though she may be, the fact is this is all the sentence she got. This was all the judge gave out. She served her time. It's done. She should have gotten more than this slap on the wrist. She should have been seriously sentenced, and was not. But this was her sentence. And she's done her time.

"FREE MARTHA" bumper sticker

I've seen those. I thought they were an advertisement for conjugal visits.

She freaking was trading on insider information, information that SHE KNEW was insider... it irks me to no end knowing that I, a simple investor who fights and scraps for each percentage of profit, am not privy to insider information the same way as Martha and IMclone CEO Waskel (the other person convicted in this case.)

So, because it's unfair that other people know stuff that you don't, they should go to jail?

Up until about two weeks ago (when I got acknowledged her release date) my tagline was 'FreeMartha.' You wouldn't believe the number of posts/FReepmails I received asking if I was referencing Martha Mitchell or Martha Stewart. I even rec'd one FReepmail saying that he too was a big fan of Martha Quinn (of early MTV)...LOL...there is only one MARTHA!!!

I beg your pardon, but if you think I advocated rejecting someone joining with us in good faith you are sadly and sorely mistaken.

Why you commence on an incomprehensible rant erroneously assigning to me complacency of victory, is beyond me (well, not really; I have a good idea.) I don't think much of such flights of fancy.

You are plain and simply wrong to make such baseless conclusions.

P.S. for examples of "constructive posts", see "cyncooper". Save your insane attacks for someone who deserves them.

Thank you. Moving has had it's advantages, although I don't have any idea where we could end up eventually. Right now I've starting retaking cake decorating classes, because I'd forgotten some of the basics. Once we moved to England, I discovered antiques and stopped working on cake decorating. Oops!

Sorry to hear about your huband.

Shares of the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) empire, which she founded, have quadrupled in value since her sentencing in July.

Wow!! Talk about b*itch slapping the government.

An FBI agent lied on the stand in her case.

The lie, if you want to call it that, had to do with the other guys case, not hers.

And it was a misrepresentation that a test was performed personally, when it was apparently mostly done by another lab assistant. He was just taking full responsibility for the test and the legal beagles caught the error and made it into a hill of beans.

Will Eleanor Smeal, Donna Shalala, Hillary Clinton and the like be waiting to celebrate with Stewart? Heh, heh. ...maybe, in the shadows.

A lie on the stand is still perjury, anything else is just Clintonism. At the very least she shoudl get a new trial.

Gads, in no way am I making fun of you. I’m afraid then, I didn’t understand your post. But in no way was I making fun of you at any time. My apologies to whatever it was you took offence.

Hardly....

That is why the complaint was tossed. The lie as you call it was not pertaining to the verdict and the verdict it was associated with was not hers.
