This thread has been an underachiever all week.
Time to pull the plug?
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Nobody.
I'm reading it. I'm also reading Henry
Blogdet's write-ups over at Slate.
Funny how two people can have such
different interpretations over the same
event.
Reason people, please get rid of that Martha Stewart head on your homepage so I don't have to be reminded of her existence every time I check in. Please!
So far as I can tell, none of this has to do with Martha Stewart's lawyer, Bob Morvillo -- it's all got to do with Bacanovic's lawyer.
Yes, let's bury Martha's head at a crossroad and finally drive a stake through this thread's heart. Nobody cares.
You're right.
Nobody cares.
Er, doesn't care.
