Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I'm waaaay overdue on taking my eye prescription over to LensCrafters--computer reading is causing my eyes to really water today, as if someone is constantly blowing smoke into them. I have to wait until payday to buy glasses anyway, but constantly wiping my eyes is already a pain.

It's two hours since I've had lunch and I am hungry again. Also, today needs to move faster.

Ha! I love the way the faces go from puzzled to smiling as they go higher. I think that would make my day if I saw it on my way to/from work.

then she not only lied about it under oath, she got one of her employees to lie as well
To be exact she lied not under oath. If she said exactly what she was convicted of saying she lied by omission (which both morally is lying, and legally is a crime - deliberate deception meeting both moral and legal standards). But our knowledge of what was said comes from a notebook scribbled by interviewer. No third party, no tape recording. I really think conviction for something like this should require more stringent evidence than taking an interested party's word. I'm not really sympathetic to Stewart because on the whole I suspect she did exactly what she was convicted of. But I'm troubled by how weak the evidence on which someone can be convicted for this. Then again I remember lobbying alongside an ACLU lawyers against the criminal code reform which included this provision specifically on grounds that this sort of thing was likely to happen.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Basically, Martha Stewart was convicted of speaking to the Feds without a lawyer present.
