...Martha, Martha, Martha! We still can't take our eyes off the slow-motion car wreck that is Martha Stewart. Today's tidbit, from the New York Times, is that Martha Stewart Omnimedia, parent company of Martha, is looking for a new CEO, one that can, as the New York Times notes, "refocus attention on the company - and away from Ms. Stewart's legal troubles."
