Early morning wake up. We're at work, but Martha reported to minimum security prison this morning at 6:15am. No matter how you feel about her, you have to admit that it's a grim experience. However, in keeping with her upbeat and combative character, she posted this on her website (www.marthatalks.com) this morning:
Dear Friends,
By the time you read this, I will have reported to a minimum-security prison in Alderson, West Virginia, to begin serving my five-month sentence.
While I am away, my updates here will be less frequent, if not altogether impossible. But please know this change is only an unfortunate reflection of my current circumstances, and in no way diminishes my commitment to my life’s work or to the friends, colleagues, customers and supporters who make it possible....
The Martha-nator will be back. You can count on it. MGR

The fun and funky clothing store "Wear Me Out" in "upper" Hell's Kitchen, used to carry "Free Martha" T-shirts...
A travesty - she is in jail and the Enron and World Com group (all men, mind you) are out and walking around, enjoying their life. As is Jason Williams, who killed a man.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
