Three Cheers for Martha Stewart!

Martha Stewart returns home!

Now, like my mother, I've always had a high opinion of her, and have never understood the contempt for her amongst so many people. It seems to me that many of these people who hate Martha vote Democrat, which is odd, considering she gave no small amount of money to the Democrats, and to the Hillary Clinton campaign for her senatorial position in NYS. Hillary returned the money, which I considered hypocritical, since in my view Hillary is almost certainly guilty of insider trading, while Martha, meanwhile, was jailed in a novel application of a securities law whose main points Martha had not violated. It's also ironic that Martha, while under trial, found a spirited defense on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal.

I have to say that I admire the way Martha bit the bullet, went to jail, and is now out--all even before her appeal begins to clear her name! Anyway, welcome home, Martha, and good luck!
