Nice Spice Rack (Martha Stewart Caught Smuggling Condiments)
Edited on Fri Nov-26-04 04:16 PM by crispini
By RICH CALDER

November 26, 2004 -- Martha Stewart's prison secrets — right down to the spices she allegedly sneaks into her bra — have been revealed by her cellmates.

Fellow "Camp Cupcake" inmates are monitoring Martha's every move at the West Virginia lockup, and are disclosing the lengths she goes to to whip up gourmet treats behind bars, including stashing condiments and such in her unmentionables.

1. Fight the Power, Martha!
What is she going to do, bake a delicious coffee cake? I can think of much worse things that people do in prison.

10. Stupid stories by people looking for their 15 minutes in the spotlight.
Stories are as bogus as the swift boat vets claims.

13. Need I point out that unless Martha worked in the kitchen
she does not have access to a stove.

I know a silly little detail.

Imagine a commitment to life,...all life.

16. Just curious
Would one of the 'spices' be green?:) Just joking.



She is only in prison, because she is an outspoken Democrat. Where is 'Kenny Boy'?

Or maybe marjoram and baking powder.

26. I heard that one
I think it's cool. I once tried to make crap-apple jelly and ended up feeding it to my turtles. I have no idea if the story is true, but if so, it's just cool to think of someone fighting the power and refusing to accept bad food.

22. Looks like another "Martha Stewart Living (in Prison)" joke
Well, at least it's not a "Prison Bitch" or Anal Rape joke.

Unfortunately, most American stand-up comedians are a) talentless, B) Republicans, and 3) obsessed with holes leading into and out of the human body.

Why is everyone supporting Martha Stewart? Not a flame. Not a troll. I am simply curious.

27. everyone doesn't support her but...
...a lot of us do have sympathy for a variety of reasons.

1) She is a strong Democratic supporter who in the past has been documented to provide lots of $$$ to Democratic candidates.

2) She is an example of a strong woman who became a billionaire just with kitchen stuff. Women's work turned into an empire...this is cool.

3) It is classic to jail leftists who are not guilty of any crime by then accusing them of lying to the FBI -- a classic from the McCarthy and Cointelpro eras. So a lot of old lefties have been there or know of people who have "been there" and know how easy it is to get tripped up even if you are innocent. If you have ever spoken to an FBI agent, you are at risk for being convicted of having "lied" to him. They never seem to pull this crap on wingnuts, so the unfairness just causes us to want to root for Martha and have it all turn out OK for her, even though she isn't exactly Howard Fast or anything.

My reasons anyway.

28. Because KennyBoy Lay walks free
Did Marthas "crime" cause thousands of her employees to loose their retirement?

Did Marthas "crime" cause California to pay over-inflated energy prices?

If Martha had a better lawyer, she would not even be in prison.


Or, if she were a repub...
