Martha's pitiable RSVP

New York Daily News: Martha Stewart, still in a cocoon of privilege, held a pity-party press conference Wednesday, announcing her desire to pay her debt to society forthwith. This, so she can "be back as early in March as possible to plant a spring garden and to truly get things growing again." And, oh yes, it would be nice if she got sent to that cozy prison where she might be able to train Seeing Eye puppies.
Has this woman no grasp of reality? Here she is, convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and other nasty things, and she is waxing poetic about "Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's" and how "very sad (she is) knowing (she) will miss the holiday season." This may be the first time in history that a soon-to-be-inmate has mourned for Halloween. Perhaps for Stewart, they will make an exception and let her distribute little packs of candy corn.
Get a grip
"And," she continued, "I will miss all of my pets -- my two beloved, fun-loving dogs, my seven lively cats, my canaries, my horses and even my chickens. It's odd what becomes of immense importance when one realizes one's freedom is about to be curtailed." Girlfriend needs to get a grip. She's only spending five months of a 10-month sentence in a minimum-security prison and the rest under house arrest at her estate.
