(I haven't heard about how she "treats her minions". She seems like a nice lady as far as it goes on her show - makes potpourris out of orange rinds - how quaint. Interestingly, Nitrozac was portraying her as a crazed empire-builder years ago.) -drl Edited by deSitter Oct. 23, 2002, 12:04:29 PM EDT Expand All History

I don't know about you, but I've always kinda thought Martha was hot in a crazy sort of way, kinda like she would bake you pumpkin brownies after you did her...

Post #59,042 by lincoln 10/24/02 9:24:16 AM Reply	the Gordon Gecko speech was based upon a speech convicted insider Marvin Bosky (spelling?) gave to an Ivy League business school in the early '80s. Don't know if Google will find it, but I'll give it a shot. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig"
Post #59,051 by CRConrad 10/24/02 10:08:01 AM Reply	Since you asked... "Boesky", IIRC.
Post #59,107 by lincoln 10/24/02 12:57:40 PM Reply	Ivan, not Marvin, Boesky - thanks, Google! No luck finding information on the speech though. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig"

Post #59,162 by screamer 10/24/02 3:38:22 PM Reply	Come on... Admit it... you'd like to bone her. If you don't care for brownies, she could probably make some kind of organic pudding, smear it all over your body and slowly lick it off... :-) Just a few thoughts, Screamer Living is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see, it's getting hard to be someone but it all works out it doesn't matter much to me J.

Post #59,169 by Silverlock 10/24/02 3:46:47 PM Reply	You would not believe.... ....the mental picture you gave me with the "organic pudding" comment. I need to wash my mind out with soap. And no, the boning of Martha has never been a desire of mine. "A civilian gang of thieving lobbyists for the military industrial complex is running the White House.

Post #59,200 by deSitter 10/24/02 4:52:17 PM Reply	A Short Bio [link\|http://www.counterpunch.org/pipermail/counterpunch-list/2002-April/019542.html\|http://www.counterpu...April/019542.html] Started as a model in New York. Voted "Best Dressed College Girl for 1961". Married at 21, she soon evolved into a harridan. Climbed to the top over the backs of her friends. Finally became one of the richest women in the country through hard work, towering ambition, and astonishing shrewdness. She has Sun conjunct Pluto in Leo, which is intercepted in the 8th house; a very sexy arrangement - also a tremendous lust for power. She was probably a tiger in the sack. -drl
Post #59,214 by Ashton 10/24/02 5:42:38 PM Reply	Heh.. that neat psyche-inventory reminded me of the comment of a contemporary Sage, when asked [something about 'astrology']. He replied, "Astrology good science. No good astrologers". [now implicit] I still find occasion for a chortle, especially after wading through some brand new rephrased psychobabble du jour - that 'throwing out the babe with the bathwater' is our fav buffer and rationale for ignoring the wisdom accumulated over thousands of years. We'll trade that for a New-TLA in a trice. (I tend to the view that bizness has so made daily lying an acceptable activity that, 'we' are no longer capable of extirpating the gems from the dross - the noise has rendered discrimination a lost quality in homo-Consumeriensis.)

As much as i dislike the woman, I truly doubt she is the harridan this article makes her out to be. But then again.....
