Martha Sentencing Aftermath

While the Post's cover is hilarious, it's such an obvious Photoshop job that Gothamist will give the crown to the Daily News for the decent "Martyr Stewart" headline. The Daily News seizes on how Martha et al. were spinning the whole issue, while the Post calls Martha "moody", based on her appeal to the public.

The Post notes that the Bedford, NY home Martha will be confined to is a sprawling 153 acres, and if she wears an electronic bracelet, the bracelet won't go as far as her land does. The NY Times looks at the Danbury women's prison Martha may go to and also says Martha will probably still influence her company, "even from jail." Expect more products and themes in the grey and bright orange family, as well as ways to make your home flattering in fluorescent light, although Gothamist did see White Oleander, so maybe it'll be more denim.

The UN Weasels post left you in doubt?

The New York Onion

When "newspapers" like the Post completely fabricate images for the frontpage how are we supposed to trust what's written inside?

Sure, most of us don't read the Post for truth and accuracy anyway, what with Gephardt as VP and now Martha in stripes.

But the Post has now 100% officially equated itself with The Onion. I wasn't quite sure what they thought of themselves with all the protestations coming from Page Six about their items being true.

So thanks for removing any doubt NYPost. We will believe nothing in your pages, no matter how vehemently the any of your "reporters" try to defend their integrity.

NELSON MANDELA??!!! OMFG!!! Could she be more offensive? If arrogance and self-importance were felonies she would never see the light of day again!

'Course, most of us would join her, I guess...
