Recently watching Jay Leno and Conan O'Brian, I have realized, there have been a lot of funny jokes regarding Martha Stewart, was there something that happened regarding Martha Stewart in the past few weeks, or did I just notice the abundant references to Martha Stewart on the Tonight Show and Late Night?

Some people are accusing her of insider trading when she sold a large number of shares of a company that made a nose-dive on the stock market not long after they were sold. The CEO of the company involved is a friend of hers and he has been charged with insider trading, fraud and a host of other things. The only way anyone will ever know, is if the person she allegedly got the information from comes forward, thereby implicating themselves and I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. Unless they have already been implicated. You can read more about it here: http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/News/06/25/martha.stewart/ I tell you, with this happening, the Enron thing and all the other problems. I think the stock market is going to H E double hockey sticks in a basket!!! Get your money out people while some of it is still there!!!!! Jul 28 02, 4:25 AM

Agreed, BB! I lost over 800 dollars in one day! Now I sit on my hands and try to be optimistic about an eventual recovery. As for Martha, I think she is getting a little picked on because of her high profile. There was also, ironically, an unauthorized biography that recently came out about her which was way less than flattering (and I think that happened just before this insider trading thing. She's total fodder for the stand-up comics right now! I'm not at all a fan of hers but I always tend to stick up for the underdogs :-). Jul 28 02, 4:52 PM

I hear a lot about Martha Stewart in the news. Just what did she do, and why is it illegal? Why did Martha Stewart go to prison? What do Katharine Hepburn, Conan O'Brien, Martha Stewart, Lee Iacocca, and Theodore Roosevelt have in common? I researched the word and Pollock doesn't have any meaning regarding Polish or from Poland, so how did the idea of "Pollock jokes" start and become attached to mean a Polish resident?
