| Apparently, Michael Moore and Martha Stewart are friendly! Bizarre reason why (prison) |
|
Here in NYC, after DemocracyNow, Amy Goodman often continues to broadcast a local show with the guests from DN.
She is continuing on with Michael Moore, who was just explaining that he and Martha Stewart have a friend in common.
When Stewart was in prison, her cell-mate was Michael Moore's former teacher (?) a nun, who was serving 3 years for an anti-war demonstration. The nun told Moore that Martha was a very nice person, as an individual.

I know she is from a poor background, so it's interesting that unlike some selfmade types, she remembers what it was like.

| 10. She also stuck with KMart when things were tanking for them when she didn't have to. |
|
Evidently, she had loyalty to their middle income and working class customers.

nun to three years for an anti-war demonstration, and the likes of the murderers Cheney et al roam free. I just don't get it.

| 3. They put a nun in prison for 3 years for protesting the war? |
|
I hope it wasn't just for picketing or some other peaceful form of protest.

| 4. She threw blood on something |
|
I didn't quite get the story. I assume she was engaged in civil disobedience on some military hardware.

| 9. DN is authentically progressive and fact based |

They are not deranged anti-union, anti-progressive, anti-Green, anti-Labour, anti-Democratic Party Trotskyite cultists, who are the only group that I happily "trash."
