Totally unbelivable. Is it possible that she is really that deluded about herself?

That, my friends, is NOT a good thing.

Do people even understand how difficult it is in the financial world because of people like her?

there are a million licenses to get. Why? not because they show you know something but because they want to be sure you know the rules.

All your financial statements are analyzed. I can't make a damn trade or buy a stock without my firm and the broker's compliance officer going over it to make sure it's OK.

We can't touch certain financial products. I can't go out and buy an IPO when it hits the market. Because of people like her.

And she has the nerve to say she's Mandella? Her and every damn white collar crook.

The term '3 hots and a cot' actually had its origins back in the Depression years of the 1930s and referred to the military, which was one of the few jobs available at the time. It soon came to mean any place - especially prison - where meals, lodging and the most basic necessities were paid for at government - read: your - expense.

The word "inmate" was coined in the 1970s during the beginnings of the reformation and rehabilitation of prisons. Supposedly, it has a less-negative connotation than 'prisoner'.

Most states do put their prisoners to work - the most tangible evidence being car and truck license tags. They earn a pittance - just enough money to buy stuff from the prison canteen.

Wow. I guess she won't mind being in prison for over two decades since she think her ordeal is the same as Mandela. During that two decades, she also won't mind being being up everyday at 4:30 in the morning to do hard labor for the entire day and have only a bucket in her prison cell to do her "business." Oh yeah, she can't talk to her love one unless it's through a heavily censored letters.

I hear ya there! Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison.. Martha's only getting 5 months. How pretentious is that?

To Martha, five months spent eating cafeteria food slopped on a tray instead of ornately presented, and sleeping on sheets that are less than 300 count, could seem like 27 years... :rolleyes: :p I must agree, though, there is no comparison between her situation and Mandela's.

Here is an article from the Danbury News-Times about the facility there: http://news.newstimes.com/story.php?id=63479 It is a low-to-minimum security facility, and she is likely to be assigned to kitchen work.

And how can you possibly compare stock issues and lying to the government to apartheid?

Absolutely incredible.

It's funny how she acts like it is the media out to get her. It is the media that hates successful women. It is the media that she a women was a part of but they are out to get her. We all love her and believe everything she says.

I've never wanted to go to prison, but it would be kind of nice to know that Martha Stewart is your chef while you're in the clink.
