now that Martha Stewart is locked away in prison. I mean, we can't have people like her running around loose because she might hijack a plane or blow up a building or something...... 
I feel so much safer

I agree, what the hell is that all about. Okay, so if your broker knew something wouldn't you appreciate him letting you in on it? Isn't that what he should do - look after your interests?
Meanwhile, most all of the really big corporate crooks are still walking around free.

Since you brought it up this may be of interest to you.
If Kerry wins you can look for appeal and early out--if price is right.

Martha Prosecutor Gave Pardongate Pass to Hillary
The U.S. attorney who went after Martha Stewart in what looks to many like a prosecutorial jihad hasn't always been so tough on powerful women.
In fact, just two years before his team nailed Stewart for lying to investigators about insider trading, U.S. Attorney James Comey let Hillary Clinton slide on charges that she traded presidential clemency for votes in the village of New Square, N.Y.
By the time Stewart was convicted on Friday, Comey was long gone from the offices of the U.S. Southern District, having moved up the Justice Department food chain to assume the position of deputy attorney general.
But it was his decision to target Stewart in 2002, using what New York Times columnist William Safire described as "novel legal theories," that now threatens to put thousands of Martha Stewart OmniMedia employees out on the street.
Comey, however, was much more deferential to Mrs. Clinton. When President Clinton commuted the sentences of four New Square rabbis after their village voted 1,200 to 14 for Hillary in her Senate race against Rick Lazio, the ambitious prosecutor concluded that it was all just an amazing coincidence.
Fellow Pardongate target Denise Rich likewise seems to have escaped the Martha treatment, even though Comey's agents turned up reams of evidence suggesting Rich was less than truthful when she told probers that there was no connection between her husband's pardon and the $400,000 she donated to the Clinton Presidential Library.

Ocelot so are you saying you don't understand why inside trading is illegal? Didn't you ever take an economics course in HS or college?
and maybe I'm wrong but I thought Martha Stewart went to prison for lying to the Feds.

I'm not looking to turn this into a Bush vs Kerry issue. I'm talking about people like Martha Stewart, Tommy Chong, and Jay Cohen being locked up for absolute total bullshit. No matter who gets elected in these phony elections is going to be more of the same old. The war on (some) drugs will go on, and they'll still be locking people up for betting on a damn football game.
The one thing I hope everyone learned from Martha... that when the FBI and other assorted oinkers come around with some questions and "it's no big deal we just need to clear a few things up yada yada" with their smiley faces, do NOT say anything to them and STFU until you get your lawyers involved. They WILL lie to you to get information and they will use everything you say to set a legal trap that you can't get out of.
Wanna know why your taxes are so damn high? Figure out how much it cost to prosecute and imprison Martha Stewart, and multiply that by a few million. :cursin:

charlesmanson,
If your so opposed to insider trading please explain to me how Bush was not busted for insider trading when he knew the oil company he was working for was going to tank (it's odd that every business venture the guy has touched has flopped) and he sold his stock before the bad news went public? I would assume you would agree that this also falls under insider trading so why are you not pissed that Bush is not being punished>

Martha
Bet she won't lie to the feds face again.
If she hadn't lied this would never have gone this far.
Dumb ass broad

country club or not, no one wants to be in that
place for five months without their freedom. Even though no bars you aint going no where.
when to get up, when to wash, when to eat.
I am sure it will be a shock to her.
