Martha Stewart and Me
I do wish Ms. Stewart the very best, I do. She was sentenced to five months in prison today for lying to investigators about her sale of ImClone stock shares 2001, finally concluding a whirlwind of a media circus that should be more concentrated on more pressing news in Iraq and the Senate. Even though she was not charged for the more serious crime of insider trading, because she is a famous media celebrity, people all over America have already cemented their opinions of her through magazines such as People and The National Enquirer.
In a country where the latest opening of Jennifer Lopez's restaurant gets way more press coverage than say, The Canadian National Election or the mysterious killings of women in Juarez, I feel ashamed to claim my American nationality. Sometimes. I don't like to watch TV anymore (unless Sex And The City is on).
Anywaysss... So for some good news resources, go to these great (if slightly progressively biased) sites for content: The Onion, The Village Voice, Asia Times and, just for its real estate section, The New York Times.
Rock on, Martha Stewart, rock on.
