Another person whom the media tried to give the public someone new to hate but the fact is that Martha Stewart is just not that interesting.  She's not Paris, Lindsay, Britney, etc. I mean the ol' media celeb machine gave it their all so I give 'em credit for giving us a new "hate icon" but I think there's only so much hate you can give to a person who makes a living marketing pillows.  Luckily for the media at the time the hype was fading for Martha, Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant.  This country needs to change with this stuff and yes the media needs to change but the people who watch it really need to stop with being focused on every time Tom Cruise scratches his nose and start caring more about about important things that affect the world.  But hey that stuff is boring right? Only if you think it is.

Martha is a class act. Nobody went to jail with more grace and style. After getting the naughty nuisance out of the way, she went back to work as if nothing had happened. You don't get any classier than that.

Hey Martha! It's time for a feisty little side kick.  The show is becoming boring. ZZZZZZZZZ

I have a lot of respect for people who are able to build a successful business from scratch, and Martha Stewart certainly fits that category. As far as going to prison for an insider stock tip, my guess is that were the law applied evenly to everyone, most of that equity research / investor industry would be in prison. I hope her new show is successful, and she sticks it to the system that scapegoated her.
