Here's Martha's tapdance, submitted for the purpose (apparently) of 
swaying public opinion.

As I understand it, the SEC is considering filing insider trading 
charges, a civil action, the Feds have already indicted her on 
criminal obstruction charges, and some of her own stockholders in 
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia are sueing her because MSLO stock 
prices have taken a steady nosedive as a result of the bad press.
All because one of the richest women in America wanted to save $45k.

Honesty.......It's a good thing!

Try it sometime, Martha.
