It's a good thing. It sucks.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Martha Stewart, who built a catering company into a media empire, was sentenced on Friday to five months in prison for lying about a suspicious stock sale ... The judge could have sentenced her to a maximum of 16 months.
Poor Martha. I figured she was going to get some prison time. Let me tell you, I bet 5 months will feel like a long-ass time. Even though her surrender to authorities is being delayed so that her attorneys can appeal, she has got to be scared as hell.
Well, I wish her the best. I hope her appeal goes through because if not it won't be long until she is locked up for almost half a year. Maybe I should bake some cookies in her honor? I have to vaccuum, do you think that would be good enough?
