Just so you know, I feel Martha Stewart has been had, especially in view of the others in the financial field who seem to have gotten off scott free so I am not making fun of her (well, sorta, but she does do good house/garden stuff) - but I found this in my inbox this morning and it is so funny. Hope you enjoy, too.
