Oh Martha, you kidder!

I love the Judge’s latest reply to Martha: Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, in a tersely worded three-page order, rejected a bid from Ms Stewart to go free early — or at least to be allowed to leave home more often for work.

“Home detention is imposed as an alternative to imprisonment. It is designed to be confining,” the judge wrote. “I see no reason to modify the sentence,” Cedarbaum added.
- “Martha had told the judge that serving the sentence would hamper production of her two upcoming television series — a daytime talk show and a new rendition of NBC’s The Apprentice.”
