$250,000? Worth $1,000,00? Hah! You silly boy!

Your crudeness is not the problem, but your incredible stupidity is.
Really...you cannot carry on that way when you don't know your ass

Bluster all you want, but if you can't get your facts straight, go to

What possible good would having my opinion do? From what I read, most people
don't even clearly understand the charges against here - which do not include
insider trading.

Why is this on a recipe newsgroup?

Pardon me, I'll go grumble elsewhere.

I don't see "recipe" anywhere in the title of rfc... RFC is more than

Quick-n-dirty poll. I understand the need to keep it such but question
3, "Do you think Martha is not guilty and will be found innocent of all
charges?" should have been broken down into two questions. "Do you think
Martha is not guilty?" and "Do you think she will be found innocent of
all charges?"

Guilty of insider trading, but she wasn't charged with that so it
doesn't matter. Because she was a director on the NYSE and once a stock
broker, the bar is a little higher for her than normal people. I'm not
sure why the govt didn't bring this charge, I guess their case sucked.

Not guilty of obstruction of justice, but she might be convicted anyway.

Short prison sentence plus $10000 fine if she's convicted; conviction
overturned on appeal. Eventually, she walks.

Best regards,
Bob

Obviously you haven't followed along at all before busting in... your
opinion therefore would probably serve no purpose what-so-ever.

This isn't a "recipe" newsgroup. If you want only recipes then head
off to rec.food.recipes where it's nice and moderated and NO
discussion is allowed. It seems as though you may be happier there.

I know that there are no changes to be made but there should have been

Do you think Martha IS guilty and will be found innocent of all charges

Wall St. Journal reporter was interviewed and said there is one serious
charge of lying to prop up her own company stock.

If convicted on that she does time, Federal sentencing guidelines judge has
no wiggle room.

She would appeal that one on constitutional grounds. IIRC, the lie that
she told was that she proclaimed her innocence -- part of her right to
due process. It would be like charging people with perjury for pleading
"not guilty" in a trial if they were eventually convicted.

So I'll ammend my prediction a little: *long* prison sentence if she's
convicted, overturned on appeal.

Quite frankly, I could not possibly care less. I don't ever watch her
incredibly dull television shows, read her magazines, or otherwise
consume ANY output of Martha Stewart Pan-Galactic Inc., so whether
she's still churning this stuff out or crocheting toilet-seat covers for her
cell will make absolutely no difference to me, now or ever.

Plus a lot of people, including maybe some jury members, will think
she's been punished enough already.


1. Lost her position heading her own company.

2. Out at least a few hundred million bucks.

3. May lose her signature TV show.

4. The butt of many jokes.

5. Portrayed by Cybill Shepherd in a TV movie.

I think that is the most troublesome aspect of the case. She may have lied,
and that may have propped up her company's stock. I don't see how they
could prove that she lied with the intent to prop up the stock unless she
explicitly told someone her motivation. In the end, she acted as a private
citizen with respect to her stock transactions, not as the head of her
company. I think this is where the prosecution will fail. I think she will
walk, or there will be a last-minute deal where she pleads guilty to some
minor infraction and pays a large fine. She will say that she admitted
guilt to minimize damage to her company and the prosecutors will be able to
save face.

Her whole defense is a stretch. But it's not as bad for the government as
the OJ jury that was stacked with black women who think it's ok for their
husbands to beat the shit out of them. I know that may sound racist to some
BUT the jury consultant hired by the dream team admitted that's exactly what
they wanted to do. Clark and Darden were too stupid to see it coming.

Stewart is knowledgeable about stocks, that's what she did for a living.

It comes down to how she plays to the jury.

She lied to the feds, that's not a smart thing to do.

My prediction, she is found guilty and does some time.

I feel the same way about Rush Limbaugh. He is under the thumb of the
prosecutor in Palm Beach County because he purchased drugs in a Denny's
parking lot with boxes full of cash. He illegally structured bank
withdrawals to hide the transactions. Then he obtained duplicate
prescriptions from multiple sources simultaneously to feed his addiction.
There are pharmacy and bank records to support this. In addition, his
housekeeper supplied voice recordings and emails to support the claim that
he had her illegally obtain narcotics for him. Now, after bashing the ACLU
and liberal trial attorneys, he hired a liberal trial attorney to defend him
and has not refused the help of the ACLU on his behalf. Any common person
would have been in jail by now, but Rush asserts that he is being unfairly
treated because he is a celebrity. His attorney asserts that there is no
utility in charging him with a crime, however Rush says that more white
people (his term) should be prosecuted and "sent up" for taking illegal
drugs. They claim that there are no victims, but someone had to knock over
a drug store, steal a delivery truck, or break into a warehouse to divert
the "prescription drugs" for sale on the street. The housekeeper was
pressured to do illegal acts. Limbaugh claims to be the highest rated talk
show on radio and is definitely Clear Channel's cash cow. His illegal acts
jeopardize that company's bottom line the same way that Martha's alleged
illegal acts impact her company. The only difference here is that I would
enjoy seeing the Bush puppets, Clear Channel and Rush Limbaugh, suffer and
you would like to see liberal Democrat, Martha Stewart, suffer.

I'm afraid that it will be lost it the vast right-wing spin cycle.
Example:

" We went to war because of WMD. There are no WMD. The war was justified.
It was the right war for the wrong reasons."

"The ACLU is bad. The ACLU is defending Rush. The defense is the right
thing for the wrong reason."

Don't kid yourself that the neo-cons will soften on this. The ACLU defended
Ollie North, yet neo-con talkers like Limbaugh and Bennett ignored that fact
and continued to bash them while conveniently forgetting to mentioning the
assistance they gave to North. Now rabid conservative Bob Barr works for
the ACLU. That doesn't stop the right-wing attack machine from smearing the
ACLU. I don't see that the Limbaugh case will be any different.

I think the ACLU should have stepped in to defend some lower profile case
much earlier if they had a problem with this law. I believe it has been on
the books for a decade.

Which case do you think has a higher probability of success: The
Celebrity with money to burn and enough media channels to sway the vast
republic or Joe Schlubb that is being taken to task for the exact same
set of circumstances?

Since there have already been many Joe Schlubb cases, that should give
you enough empirical data to make an accurate forecast.

I think celebrities should spend their own money to do what the ACLU could
do for them. It is like corporate welfare when the ACLU uses contributions
form "the little people" to defend people like Rush who is worth hundreds of
millions of dollars. If Rush made a huge contribution to the ACLU to
compensate them for their services, then I wouldn't have a problem with this
situation. I don't see that as a likely outcome. I see the ACLU as an
organization that levels the playing field to give access for people without
the means to litigate civil rights cases themselves.

It's a mistake to think that the ACLU spends a lot of money "defending"
wealthy people like Limbaugh. In such cases the defendant is spending his
own money on his own lawyers - all the ACLU does is file a brief with the
court explaining why they think the case should be decided one way or the
other.

The war is over, we won, **** you, the UN and the rest of the world.

The majority of Americans approve of the way President Bush is handling the
war on terror.

This IS Florida, after all. The state run by the Bush crime family and the
religious right. Logic doesn't always prevail.

Dear Boron The Moron,

Please accept my sincerest apologies, apparently I left out three zeros.

From now on I will spell out such so it doesn't happen again, ok?

Martha Stewart Inc. was, emphasis on *was* worth one billion American
dollars. I don't know where you are from, nor do I care, but one billion
American dollars is some serious coin, comprende?

She put it all at risk and may end up doing some time with the bull dykes
over two hundred fifty thousand American dollars. I don't think she is the
sharpest knife in the drawer!

You behave!

He used WMD, probably supplied by the Reagan and Bush administrations. He
used them at a time when Rumsfield was touting him as a nice guy.

The key word here is HAD. That's past tense. HAD does not mean HAVE. See
the difference? Had we invaded the country in 1988 because he had WMD then
we would have been right. Unfortunately,in 1988 we were supporting Iraq
because they were the enemy of our enemy, Iran, assuming that meant Iraq was
our friend. We also supported the Taliban because they were the enemy of
our enemy, the Soviet Union.

So Martha practices a little bitchcraft. So What!. She may have stolen a
mere 40K. There are fat *******s on Wall Street that stole trillions. This
is just a big diversion to keep the attention of the masses away from the
major f***ery that is really going on. Same with the Whacko Jacko farce.

Where'd they go Einstein? Did they just vanish into thin air?

Hint: Clinton is the opposite of Bush.
