Martha Stewart Bleeds Also

Some lament the absence of ridiculous, non-athletic celebrities in the fine, frigid city of Boston. An advantage of this, however, is that the chances of assaulting the said public figures for their offensively perfect crafts and obliviousness to the economic crisis.

Yesterday, Martha Stewart and John Cramer feigned concern about the mortgage crisis. Their stock portfolios have gone down, and now their successors might inherit less. Also, pity the thought that they and John McCain may have to sell off a home or two.

Those hoping to indulge in carthartic sorrow vis a vis the country's most wealthy might consider following Martha on Twitter. Martha Stewart is like a West Highland White Terrier whose owners can't afford to send her to full time doggie daycare anymore, and the rest of the country is like a mutt hanging out at the pound hoping salvation arrives before the euthanasia does.
