Stewart had better be eating humble pie. To anyone familiar with investment banking and the facts reported in the press, she is guilty of insider trading. So far, she has gotten off easy, as far as I'm concerned--she has done time only for lying to investigators.

Those mosaics are gorgeous, but I can't see having a tile wall in a bedroom.

Is anyone else turned off by the wallpaper fad? I was thinking of doing a Chinoiserie mural paper earlier this year, until I saw that kind of thing in every late-Spring shelter magazine. When everyone has something, I don't want it anymore. Starts to look tired, or dated, or too trendy.

UGHH....Here I am perusing a civilized website known as AP, & WHAT POPS UP in the middle of it?! The ghastly image of Martha Stewart. It's akin to being jabbed in the ribs with a stick.
AP, what were you thinking?

Um, technically it's "AT".

And (imho) Martha still rocks.

Yeah, by all means have at her. I guess she "rocks" when it comes to pillaging & ripping off shareholders-I'm sure they must adore her. It's not like she needed the money, but she made the same fatal mistake that a lot of corporate executives make; they can't resist the temptation of insider trading, they think they're above others & don't have to play by the same rules as the rest of society, & they don't know when to call it quits & come to their freaking senses. She's good at taking care of herself. I think she got off quite easily actually. Frankly I've had enough of her. Just my .02 cents;)
