Martha Stewart convicted
It's on Court TV right now. Personally, although I am fairly certain that she did indeed tell the lies she is accused of telling, she is hardly in the big league of corporate criminals.

The assistant district attorney, David Kelley, is saying that this sends a message to corporate America that this type of corruption won't be tolerated. Yeah, right. Ken Lay is still at large, along with the rest of the Enron gang. Halliburton still hides most of its ill gotten gains in offshore tax shelters.

To the corporate bigwigs, I say: "Martha Stewart is tried for your sins."

3. If you lie the government is going
to try you if you contribute to democrats. If you contribute top gop your a good guy. bush should go to jail for the rest of his life after all the stinking rotten lies he tells. 9/11 is going to get him. He cannot use it or he will sink. I am glad. He has had a bad year so far, everything is going out of kilter. No matter what he touches he loses. TV adds questioned, Neal saying he wanted to go after saddam before 9/11. Plame case sniffing at his door, economy tanking no matter what he says. Jobs gone. Maybe he will give it up.

6. But she was guilty.
There should be a ton more Wall Street shysters in jail, brokerage houses, etc.. Maybe they singled her out more than others, but that doesn't change the fact that she is guilty as hell.

Just kidding.

But damn, can we round up some of these other corporate looters? Where is KENNY BOY?

At least Ebbers, the Telecomm Crook, is feeling the heat.
