On the very day that Martha Stewart was sentenced to 5 months in jail and 5 months house arrest (she got to pick which house), her stock rose 43% and making her $90 million richer by the end of the day.

Who wronged who?
Federal prosecutors launched a probe into Stewart's suspicious sale of shares of ImClone, a company owned by her friend Sam Waksal, after she received an alleged insider tip from her broker, Peter Bacanovic.

Stewart sold the stock before the company released information that sent shares lower. Federal prosecutors ultimately charged Stewart with obstruction of justice for lying about the sale. Though she wasn't charged with criminal insider trading, the Securities and Exchange Commission has charged her with civil insider-trading violations.

I'm afraid not.

Look at Jeffrey Archer. A very mediocre conservative with very mediocre writing abilities. Get's done for God know's what and goes to prison. He's a best seller now.

Jeffrey Archer has always been a superb fiction writer long before he was imprisoned and far from mediocre.

You have to get out more Shavix.

You find Jeffrey Archer a superb writer?

Fact remains that his sales soared when he was imprisoned.

You really think he's good?
Where do you live? In some far out-corner of this wee planet?

I dare take a bet that if EVERYONE here had to write a top 10 superb writers...not one would have Jeffrey, the scoundrel, Archer in their top 10.
Let's up the odds...top 15!
