Martha **PING**

There is MarthaTalks.com there is FryMartha.com and finally SaveMartha.com.

I really have mixed feelings that she is getting a rock star welcome. While her crime was more of well white collar crime, she is not a murderer, she lied to the feds but still after someone's serves it seems unseemly of her departure from prison.

I suppose if I am up at midnight I might take a gander at MSNBC Dan Abrams will be live with the coverage. But I will bet that CNN and FOX will do the same.

This is a natural result of the ever expansion of laws in the US. If we continue to make felons for things that the public in general public don't consider terrible, lying to the FBI that is lying to you, smoking dope, using your own land etc., then the public naturally will not stigmatize felons any more.

I have been a fan of Martha's for many many years. I have learned so much from her TV shows and magazines. In a world full of bad news all the time, her shows were like an island of sanity for me. Everything was perfect as it should be, "it's a good thing". I left my Martha Christmas tree up this year until she is released.

I truly think she got a bum deal simply because of her popularity.

I think the rules on her release are somewhat stupid as was her sentence to begin with. She can visit the horses in the barn on her property but not plant a garden. (do they think she will bury stock tips out there?) She can go to the grocery store, church and work but may not carry a gun. I doubt that Martha ever carried a gun anyway.

She will emerge from this even better than ever, just wait. I only wish I had bought her stock last year when I wanted to. Darn!!

I won't be watching, but just a point of information/interest, the Fox article says a message will be posted at www.marthastewart.com after her release.

Might be interesting to see what she has to say.

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